Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0240] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned communication system may support LTM (L1 / L2-triggered Mobility). Based on LTM, the network device may configure multiple candidate cells (or candidate cell groups) for the terminal device, and the network device may control the terminal device to change among the multiple candidate cells (or candidate cell groups) through L1 signaling or L2 signaling.

[0241] For example, the terminal device can change the serving cell (or cell group) from "candidate cell (or candidate cell group) -1" to "candidate cell (or candidate cell group) -2" according to the L1 or L2 signaling of the network device. Among them, one serving cell (or cell group) can correspond to one or more candidate cells (or candidate cell groups).

[0242] In some embodiments, the L1 signaling may include downlink control information (DCI).

[0244] Optionally, the above-mentioned cell may also be a transmission and / or reception point (Transmission / Reception Point, TRP), and the above-mentioned cell group may also be a TRP group.

[0245] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, based on LTM, the network device can configure at least one neighboring cell (Neighbour Cell) for the terminal device, and the terminal device can perform signal measurement on the at least one neighboring cell, for example, the signal measurement can be based on a reference signal. Optionally, the reference signal can be a synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB), a channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS) or other reference signals. Optionally, terms such as "Synchronization Signal Block (SSB)" and "Synchronization Signal And Physical Downlink Broadcast Channel Block" can be interchangeable.

[0246] In some embodiments, the signal measurements may be measurements for LTM (Layer 1 or Layer 2 Triggered Mobility).

[0247] Optionally, the name of the signal measurement is not limited, for example, it can be "L1 measurement", "LTM-based measurement", "same-frequency measurement", "neighboring area measurement", "same-frequency neighboring area measurement", "same-frequency L1 measurement", "L1-RSRP measurement", "L1-SINR measurement", "L1-RSRQ measurement", "same-frequency L1-RSRP measurement", "same-frequency L1-SINR measurement", "same-frequency L1-RSRQ measurement", etc.

[0250] Physical layer signal to interference plus noise ratio (Layer 1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, L1-SINR);

[0251] Physical layer reference signal receiving quality (Layer 1 Reference Signal Receiving Quality, L1-RSRQ)

[0252] In some embodiments, if there are multiple frequency layers (Frequency Layer), there are multiple adjacent cells in each frequency layer, and the terminal device performs signal measurements on the multiple adjacent cells. For example, the terminal device can perform L1-RSRP measurement based on the reference signal. Optionally, the terms "frequency layer (Frequency Layer)", "component carrier (CC)", "frequency carrier (Frequency Carrier)", "carrier frequency (Carrier Frequency)", "carrier (Carrier Frequency)", "frequency (Frequency)", "frequency range", "frequency point" and the like can be used interchangeably.

[0253] In some embodiments, if the receiving time difference (RTD) between reference signals (e.g., SSBs) from multiple target cells is less than or equal to the cyclic prefix (CP), when the SSBs of multiple target cells overlap, the terminal device may use a single Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor to process these SSBs. The above-mentioned multiple target cells include the service cell and adjacent cells of the terminal device. Optionally, the multiple target cells may be cells of the same frequency layer. Optionally, terms such as "RTD", "TO", "signal time difference", and "received signal time difference" may be interchangeable.

[0254] In other embodiments, if the RTD between reference signals (e.g., SSBs) from multiple target cells is greater than the CP, when the SSBs of the multiple target cells overlap, the terminal device cannot use a single FFT processor to process these SSBs in parallel. The multiple target cells may include the serving cell and neighboring cells of the terminal device. Optionally, the multiple target cells may be cells on the same frequency layer.

[0255] In one implementation, if the terminal device does not support the RTD>CP capability, for example, if the terminal device is not configured with multiple FFT processors, when SSBs of multiple target cells overlap, the terminal device may use a single FFT processor to serially process these SSBs. To achieve serial processing, the measurement period may be increased.

[0256] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a measurement period may be set, and signal measurement may be performed according to the measurement period. In order to achieve measurement of a target cell under different conditions (scenarios), different measurement periods may be set.

[0257] In some embodiments, a first condition may be set, and different measurement cycles may be determined based on whether the terminal device satisfies the first condition.

[0258] The first condition may be used to determine whether the terminal device can perform signal measurements on the neighboring cell and the serving cell based on the same Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor. Optionally, the terms "can", "may", "need", "expect", "anticipate", etc. may be used interchangeably.

[0259] In some embodiments, the first condition may include at least one of the following:

[0260] The terminal device does not support a first capability, where the first capability is the capability of the terminal device to support a reception time difference RTD of multiple target cells greater than a cyclic prefix CP, where the target cells include a serving cell and / or a neighboring cell of the terminal device;

[0261] The terminal device does not have an FFT processor dedicated to neighboring cell measurements;

[0262] The time difference between the terminal device receiving signals from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP.

[0263] For example, the first condition may include: the time difference of the terminal device receiving signals from multiple target cells (serving cells and / or neighboring cells) can be greater than CP, and the terminal device does not support the first capability (RTD>CP capability).

[0264] For another example, the first condition may include: the time difference between signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP, and the terminal device does not have an FFT processor that can be specifically used for neighboring cell measurement.

[0265] For another example, the first condition may include: the terminal device does not support the first capability, and the terminal device does not have an FFT processor that can be specifically used for neighboring cell measurement.

[0266] For another example, the first condition may include: the time difference between the signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP, or the terminal device does not have an FFT processor that can be specifically used for neighboring cell measurement, or the time difference between the signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP.

[0267] In one implementation, the first capability may also be referred to as "RTD>CP capability".

[0268] In one implementation, if all FFT processors of the terminal device are occupied by the serving cell, or all FFT processors of the terminal device are dedicated to the serving cell, it can be determined that the terminal device does not have an FFT processor that can be specifically used for neighboring cell measurement.

[0269] In one implementation, it can be determined, based on the network configuration, that the time difference between signals received by a terminal device from multiple target cells is greater than the CP. For example, if the relative distance between multiple target cells is greater than a threshold, it can be determined that the time difference between signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells is greater than the CP. For another example, if a specific flag is present in the configuration delivered by the network device, it can be determined that the time difference between signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells is greater than the CP.

[0270] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a third measurement period may be determined based on the second information, and signal measurement may be performed based on the third measurement period. For example, signal measurement may be performed on the serving cell and the neighboring cell based on the third measurement period.

[0271] In some embodiments, when the terminal device does not meet the above-mentioned first condition, the third measurement period can be determined based on the second information.

[0272] In some embodiments, the name of the third measurement period is not limited, for example, it can be "measurement period", "same-frequency measurement period", "same-frequency L1-RSRP measurement period", "same-frequency L1-RSRP measurement period based on frequency range 1 (Frequency range, FR1)", etc.

[0273] In some embodiments, the second information may include at least one of the following:

[0274] Whether the terminal device is configured with Discontinuous Reception (DRX);

[0275] DRX cycle T of the terminal device DRX ;

[0276] The measurement reporting period T of the terminal equipment Report ;

[0277] The period T of the synchronization signal block SSB index of the adjacent cell of the terminal device SSB_NBC ;

[0278] The period T of the synchronization signal block SSB index of the serving cell of the terminal device SSB ;

[0279] A third parameter M, which is a parameter determined according to a high-level configuration;

[0280] A fourth parameter P, which is a parameter determined according to the measurement gap GAP and the SSB time slot occasion configured by the terminal device;

[0281] The fifth parameter K is a preset parameter.

[0282] In one implementation, the third parameter may be determined by any one of the following methods:

[0283] When timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurement is configured at a higher level, the third parameter M may be 1;

[0284] When timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurement is configured at a higher level, the third parameter M may be 3;

[0285] The third parameter M may be a value preset by the terminal device, such as 1 or 3. Optionally, the terminal device may send the third parameter M to the network device;

[0286] The third parameter M may be a value preset by the network device, such as 1 or 3. Optionally, the network device may send the third parameter M to the terminal device;

[0287] In one implementation, the fourth parameter P may be determined by any one of the following methods:

[0288] The fourth parameter P may be a value preset for the terminal device or a value configured by the network device, such as 1;

[0289] When the measurement gap GAP configured by the terminal device overlaps with the time slot occasion of SSB, according to the formula The fourth parameter P is calculated, where T SSB_NBC Indicates the period of the synchronization signal block SSB index of the adjacent cell of the terminal device, MGRP represents the measurement gap repetition period (Measurement Gap Repetition Period), and the measurement gap GAP includes at least one of the following: the GAP of the intra-frequency neighboring cell measurement, the GAP of the inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement, and the GAP of the inter-RAT neighboring cell measurement;

[0290] When the measurement gap GAP configured by the terminal device does not overlap with the time slot occasion of the SSB, the fourth parameter P may be a preset value (eg, 1).

[0291] In one implementation, the fifth parameter K may be determined by any one of the following methods:

[0292] The fifth parameter K may be a value preset for the terminal device or a value configured by the network device, such as 1 or 1.5;

[0293] In T SSB_NBCWhen the time is less than or equal to the first preset time length (for example, 40 milliseconds) and the terminal device has started high-speed measurement, the fifth parameter K may be 1; otherwise, the fifth parameter K may be 1.5, where the terminal device starting high-speed measurement may be that the terminal device is configured with highSpeedMeasFlag-r16 or highSpeedMeasCA-Scell-r17.

[0294] The above method can be used to determine the second information according to different configurations or different scenarios of the terminal device, so that the third measurement period can be flexibly determined.

[0295] In some embodiments, a method for determining the third measurement period according to the second information may be as shown in Table 1 below:

[0296] Table 1

[0336] FIG2A is an interactive schematic diagram of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be performed by the above-mentioned communication system. As shown in FIG2A , the method may include:

[0337] Step S2101: The network device sends a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) to the terminal device.

[0338] In some embodiments, the terminal device may receive the TCI. For example, the terminal device may receive the TCI sent by the network device.

[0339] In some embodiments, the TCI may be used to configure a TCI status list for a terminal device.

[0340] In some embodiments, the terminal device may be configured with one or more TCI status lists.

[0341] In some embodiments, the network device may send a first message that may include the TCI. For example, the network device may send the first message to the terminal device. Optionally, the terminal device may receive the first message.

[0342] Optionally, the first message may include at least one of a radio resource control RRC (Radio Resource Control) message, a medium access control control element MAC CE (Medium Access Control Control Element), downlink control information DCI (Downlink Control Information), or other messages sent by a network device to a terminal device.

[0343] In some embodiments, step S2101 may be omitted. For example, the network device may not send the TCI, and the terminal device may not configure the TCI. For another example, the terminal device may autonomously implement the function indicated by the TCI, such as autonomously configuring a TCI status list.

[0344] Step S2102: The network device sends a TCI status activation indication to the terminal device.

[0345] In some embodiments, the terminal device may receive the TCI state activation indication. For example, the terminal device may receive the TCI state activation indication sent by the network device.

[0346] In some embodiments, the TCI state activation indication may be used to activate the TCI state, for example, to determine an activated TCI state list.

[0347] In some embodiments, the TCI state activation indication may be used to determine TCI information of the terminal device, and the TCI information may be used to determine whether a neighboring cell is on the activated TCI state list.

[0348] In some embodiments, the terminal device may activate one or more TCI state lists.

[0349] In some embodiments, the network device may send a second message that may include the aforementioned state activation indication. For example, the network device may send the second message to the terminal device. Optionally, the terminal device may receive the second message.

[0350] Optionally, the second message may include at least one of an RRC message, a MAC CE, a DCI, or other messages sent by the network device to the terminal device.

[0351] In some embodiments, step S2102 may be omitted, and the terminal device may autonomously implement functions related to the TCI activation indication.

[0352] For example, if the network device does not send a TCI activation indication, or the terminal device does not receive a TCI activation indication, the terminal device does not have an activated TCI status list.

[0353] For another example, the terminal device may activate the TCI state at a specified time after receiving the TCI, thereby determining an activated TCI state list.

[0354] For another example, after receiving TCI, the terminal device may periodically activate the TCI state, thereby determining an activated TCI state list.

[0355] Step S2103: The network device determines the first parameter and the second parameter.

[0356] In some embodiments, the first parameter may be a scaling factor of the measurement period corresponding to the neighboring cell. RTD_NC .

[0357] In some embodiments, the second parameter may be a measurement period scaling factor corresponding to the serving cell. Optionally, the second parameter may be referred to as P RTD_SC .

[0358] In some embodiments, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) and the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) can be a pre-set value, for example, the first parameter is 2 or 10, and the second parameter is 2 or 10.

[0359] In some embodiments, the first parameter (PRTD_NC ) and the second parameter (P RTD_SC ), the first information may be information related to adjacent cells of the terminal device.

[0360] In some embodiments, the first information may include at least one of the following:

[0361] Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) information, which is used to determine whether a neighboring cell is on the activated TCI status list;

[0362] a first number, which may be the number of neighboring cells;

[0363] a second number, where the second number may be the number of first-category neighboring cells, where the first-category neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list among the neighboring cells;

[0364] The third number may be the number of second-category neighboring cells, where the second-category neighboring cells are cells in the neighboring cells that are not in the activated TCI state list.

[0365] Optionally, the first number, the second number, and the third number may all be integers greater than or equal to 0, and the sum of the second number and the third number may be less than or equal to the first number.

[0366] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned activated TCI status list can be determined according to step S2101 and / or step S2102.

[0367] In some embodiments, a terminal device may have two types of neighboring cells, where the first type of neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list, and the second type of neighboring cells are cells not in the activated TCI state list. Optionally, the terminal device may not have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is equal to 0. Alternatively, the terminal device may only have the second type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is 0; or the terminal device may only have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the third number is 0.

[0368] In some embodiments, the aforementioned adjacent cell may be an adjacent cell configured by the network device for the terminal device.

[0369] In some embodiments, the neighboring cell may be a neighboring cell that the terminal device expects to measure. Optionally, the neighboring cell expected to be measured may be a subset or a full set of neighboring cells configured by the network device for the terminal device. For example, if the network device configures three neighboring cells NC1, NC2, and NC3 for the terminal device, the neighboring cells may be NC1, NC2, and NC3, or NC1 and NC2, or any one of NC1, NC2, and NC3.

[0370] In some embodiments, the neighboring cells may be neighboring cells selected by the terminal device. For example, the network device may configure neighboring cells for the terminal device, including NC-1 to NC-x, for a total of x cells. The terminal device may select y cells from these x cells as neighboring cells to be measured.

[0371] In some embodiments, the terminal device may report the neighboring cells (or selected neighboring cells) expected to be measured to the network device, or report the maximum number of neighboring cells expected to be measured to the network device. Optionally, the network device may determine the neighboring cells based on the maximum number reported by the terminal device, or the network device may determine at least one of the first number, the second number, and the third number based on the maximum number reported by the terminal device.

[0372] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there are multiple optional ways to determine the first parameter and the second parameter according to the first information. For example:

[0373] In some embodiments, the first number is determined to be equal to N1, the first parameter is determined to be P11, and the second parameter is determined to be P21, where P11 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, P21 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and N1 is a positive integer. P11 and P21 may be the same or different. Alternatively, P11 may be greater than N1, P21 may also be greater than N1, and P11 may be equal to P21.

[0374] Optionally, when it is determined that the first number is equal to N1, the first parameter is determined to be P11, and the second parameter is determined to be P21.

[0375] Optionally, P11 may be greater than or equal to N1+1, and P21 may be greater than or equal to N1+1. For example, N1 is 1, and both P11 and P21 are 2. For another example, N1 is 2, and both P11 and P21 are 3. For another example, N1 is 3, and both P11 and P21 are 4.

[0376] For example, when at least one symbol of the SSB from the target cell (including the serving cell and / or the adjacent cell) is overlapped or adjacent in the time domain, if the number of adjacent cells to be measured by the terminal device is 1 (that is, N1 is 1, the first number is equal to 1), then the above P11 and P21 can both be 2, that is, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) and the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) are both 2.

[0377] In other embodiments, it is determined that the first number is greater than the above-mentioned N1, and the first parameter and the second parameter are determined based on at least one of the TCI information, the second number, and the third number.

[0378] Optionally, when it is determined that the first number is greater than the above-mentioned N1, the first parameter and the second parameter are determined according to at least one of the TCI information, the second number, and the third number.

[0379] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first quantity may be ignored, and the first parameter and the second parameter may be determined directly based on at least one of the TCI information, the second quantity, and the third quantity.

[0380] In this way, by increasing the measurement period, the terminal device can use the same FFT processor to perform signal measurements on the serving cell, the first type of neighboring cells, and the second type of neighboring cells.

[0381] There are multiple optional implementations for determining the first parameter and the second parameter based on at least one of the TCI information, the second quantity, and the third quantity. For example:

[0382] In the first implementation method, it is determined based on the TCI information that the terminal device has an adjacent cell on the activated TCI status list, and the second parameter is determined as P22, where P22 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. The first parameter is determined based on the second quantity and / or the third quantity.

[0383] Optionally, when it is determined based on TCI information that the terminal device has adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list, the second parameter can be determined as P22, and the first parameter can be determined based on the second quantity and / or the third quantity.

[0384] Optionally, P22 may be greater than the above-mentioned N1.

[0385] Alternatively, P22 may be equal to 2, that is, the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) is determined to be 2.

[0386] By increasing the measurement period, the terminal device can use the same FFT processor to process both the serving cell and the neighboring cell. Furthermore, the FFT processor's processing time can be divided into two parts, one for the serving cell and one for the neighboring cell. This ensures that the neighboring cell can be processed while ensuring that the serving cell's processing time is not significantly compressed, thereby improving measurement reliability. For example, half of the FFT processor's processing time can be used for the serving cell, and the other half for the neighboring cell.

[0387] There are also multiple ways to determine the first parameter based on the second quantity and / or the third quantity, for example:

[0388] In an optional manner, the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cell may be determined as P12_1, where P12_1 is the product of the second number and the first value, and the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell may be determined as P12_2, where P12_2 is the product of the third number and the first value. The first value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 4, and optionally, the first value may be equal to 4.

[0389] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) may be 4 times the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells); the first parameter (P) corresponding to the second type of neighboring cells (neighboring cells not in the activated TCI state list) RTD_NC ) can be 4 times the third number, the third number can be equal to the number of the second type of adjacent cells, and the third number can also be less than the number of the second type of adjacent cells. For example, it can be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of adjacent cells.

[0390] In this way, the terminal device can use the same FFT processor to perform signal measurements on the serving cell, the first type of neighboring cells, and the second type of neighboring cells, thereby improving the integrity and accuracy of the measurements.

[0391] In another optional manner, the first parameter corresponding to the first type of adjacent cell can be determined as P12_3, where P12_3 is the product of the second number and a second value, and the second value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. Optionally, the second value can be equal to 2 or 4.

[0392] Optionally, the second type of neighboring cell may not be configured with the first parameter, or the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell may be determined as an invalid value (eg, 0 or a specific value).

[0393] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) can be twice the second number (the number of first type neighboring cells).

[0394] In this way, the terminal device can use the same FFT processor to perform signal measurement on the serving cell and the first type of adjacent cells, and not perform signal measurement on the second type of adjacent cells, thereby improving the timeliness of the first type of adjacent cell measurement and improving communication reliability.

[0395] In a second implementation, it is determined based on TCI information that a terminal device has a neighboring cell on the activated TCI status list, and the second parameter is determined to be P23, where P23 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3; the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cell is determined to be P13_1, where P13_1 is the product of the second number and the third value; and the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell is determined to be P13_2, where P13_2 is the product of the third number and the third value, where the third value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3, and optionally, the third value may be equal to 3. Optionally, P23 may be greater than the aforementioned N1.

[0396] Optionally, when it is determined based on TCI information that the terminal device has adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list, the second parameter can be determined as P23, the first parameter corresponding to the first type of adjacent cells can be determined as P13_1, and the first parameter corresponding to the second type of adjacent cells can be determined as P13_2.

[0397] For example, the above P23 may be equal to 3, and the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) can be equal to 3, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) may be three times the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells); the first parameter (P) corresponding to the second type of neighboring cells (neighboring cells not in the activated TCI state list) RTD_NC ) may be three times the third number. Optionally, the third number may be equal to the number of the second type of neighboring cells, or may be less than the number of the second type of neighboring cells. For example, the third number may be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of neighboring cells.

[0398] In this way, by increasing the measurement period, the processing time of the FFT processor can be divided into three parts, which are used for the service cell, the first type of adjacent cell and the second type of adjacent cell respectively. This can not only realize the processing of the three types of cells, but also ensure that the processing time of the service cell is not compressed too much, thereby improving the measurement reliability.

[0399] In a third implementation, it is determined based on the TCI information that the terminal device has a neighboring cell on the activated TCI status list, and the second parameter is determined to be P24, where P24 is the sum of the second number, the third number, and the fourth value. The first parameter is determined to be P14, where P14 is the sum of the second number, the third number, and the fourth value, where the fourth value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and optionally, the fourth value may be equal to 1. Optionally, P24 and P14 may be equal.

[0400] Optionally, when it is determined based on TCI information that the terminal device has an adjacent cell on the activated TCI status list, the second parameter can be determined as P24 and the first parameter can be determined as P14.

[0401] For example, the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) may be equal to the sum of the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells), the third number (the number of the second type of neighboring cells) and a fourth value (for example, 1). The first parameter (P RTD_NC ) may also be equal to the sum of the second number (the number of first-category neighboring cells), the third number (the number of second-category neighboring cells), and a fourth value (e.g., 1). The first-category neighboring cells and the second-category neighboring cells correspond to the same first parameter. Optionally, the third number may be equal to the number of second-category neighboring cells, or the third number may be less than the number of second-category neighboring cells. For example, it may be the number selected by the terminal device from the second-category neighboring cells.

[0402] In this way, by increasing the measurement period, the processing time of the FFT processor can be evenly shared by the serving cell, the first type of neighboring cells, and the second type of neighboring cells, thereby improving the timeliness of neighboring cell measurement.

[0403] In a fourth implementation, it is determined based on the TCI information that no neighboring cell of the terminal device is on the activated TCI state list; the second parameter is determined to be P25, where P25 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell is determined to be P15, where P15 is the product of the third number and a fifth value, where the fifth value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and optionally, the fifth value may be equal to 2. Optionally, P25 may be greater than the aforementioned N1.

[0404] Optionally, when it is determined based on the TCI information that the terminal device has no adjacent cell on the activated TCI status list, the second parameter can be determined as P25, and the first parameter can be determined as P15, where P15 is the product of the third number and the fifth value.

[0405] Optionally, the terminal device has no adjacent cells on the activated TCI state list, which is equivalent to that all adjacent cells of the terminal device are not on the activated TCI state list.

[0406] For example, the above P25 can be equal to 2, and the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) can be equal to 2, and the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) can be twice the third number, the third number can be equal to the number of the second type of adjacent cells, and the third number can also be less than the number of the second type of adjacent cells. For example, it can be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of adjacent cells.

[0407] In this way, by increasing the measurement cycle, the processing time of the FFT processor can be shared by the serving cell and the second type of adjacent cells, and the serving cell is measured first, thereby achieving both measurement of adjacent cells and ensuring the timeliness of measurement of the serving cell.

[0408] In the fifth implementation, it is determined based on the TCI information that the terminal device has no adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list; the second parameter is determined to be P26, P26 is the sum of the third number and the sixth value, and the first parameter corresponding to the second type of adjacent cells is determined to be P16, P16 is the sum of the third number and the sixth value, the sixth value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, optionally, the sixth value can be equal to 1.

[0409] Optionally, when it is determined based on the TCI information that the terminal device has no adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list, the second parameter can be determined as P26 and the first parameter can be determined as P16.

[0410] For example, the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) may be equal to the sum of the third number and a sixth value (eg, 1), and the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) may also be equal to the sum of the third number and a sixth value (for example, 1). The third number may be equal to the number of the second type of adjacent cells. The third number may also be less than the number of the second type of adjacent cells. For example, it may be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of adjacent cells.

[0411] In this way, by increasing the measurement period, the processing time of the FFT processor can be shared by the serving cell and the second type of neighboring cells, thereby improving the timeliness of neighboring cell measurement.

[0412] In some other embodiments, the first number is determined to be greater than N1, the second parameter is determined to be P27, the first parameter is determined to be P17, N1 is a positive integer, P27 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, P17 is the product of the first number and a seventh value, and the seventh value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. Optionally, P27 may be greater than N1.

[0413] Optionally, when it is determined that the first number is greater than N1, the second parameter may be determined as P27 and the first parameter may be determined as P17.

[0414] For example, the above P27 may be equal to 2, and the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) can be equal to 2, the first parameter (P RTD_NC) may be twice the first number. Optionally, the first number may be equal to the number of all neighboring cells of the terminal device, or the first number may be less than the number of all neighboring cells of the terminal device, for example, the first number may be the number selected by the terminal device from all neighboring cells.

[0415] In this way, by increasing the measurement cycle, the processing time of the FFT processor can be shared by the serving cell and the adjacent cell, and the serving cell is measured first, thereby achieving both the measurement of the adjacent cell and the timeliness of the measurement of the serving cell.

[0704] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement method, which can be performed by a terminal device and / or a network device in a communication system. The method may include:

[0705] Step S5101: Determine a first measurement cycle.

[0706] In some embodiments, the first measurement period may be determined based on a first parameter. The first parameter may be a scaling factor for the measurement period corresponding to the neighboring cell. Alternatively, the first parameter may be referred to as P RTD_NC .

[0707] In some embodiments, the first parameter may be determined based on first information, where the first information may include at least one of the following:

[0708] Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) information, which is used to determine whether a neighboring cell is on the activated TCI status list;

[0709] a first number, which may be the number of neighboring cells;

[0710] a second number, where the second number may be the number of first-category neighboring cells, where the first-category neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list among the neighboring cells;

[0711] The third number may be the number of second-category neighboring cells, where the second-category neighboring cells are cells in the neighboring cells that are not in the activated TCI state list.

[0712] Optionally, the first number, the second number, and the third number may all be integers greater than or equal to 0, and the sum of the second number and the third number may be less than or equal to the first number.

[0713] In some embodiments, a terminal device may have two types of neighboring cells, where the first type of neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list, and the second type of neighboring cells are cells not in the activated TCI state list. Optionally, the terminal device may not have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is equal to 0. Alternatively, the terminal device may only have the second type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is 0; or the terminal device may only have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the third number is 0.

[0714] In some embodiments, different scenarios may be distinguished to determine the first parameter.

[0715] Scenario 1: The number of adjacent cells is 1.

[0716] Alternatively, half of the FFT processor's processing time may be dedicated to the serving cell, and the other half used by neighboring cells.

[0717] For example, when at least one symbol of the SSB from the target cell (including the serving cell and / or the adjacent cell) is overlapped or adjacent in the time domain, if the number of adjacent cells to be measured by the terminal device is 1, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) can be equal to 2.

[0718] Scenario 2: The number of adjacent cells is greater than 1.

[0719] Sub-scenario 1: The scenario where the terminal device is configured with an activated TCI status list (for example, the terminal device has a neighboring cell on the activated TCI status list).

[0720] Optional implementation method 1: The serving cell has a higher priority.

[0721] Optionally, half of the processing time of the FFT processor may be dedicated to the serving cell, and the other half of the processing time may be shared by multiple neighboring cells.

[0722] The optional implementation method 1 can be any of the following two methods:

[0723] In optional implementation manner 1a, the first type of neighboring cells and the second type of neighboring cells share the other half of the processing time.

[0724] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) can be 4 times the second number (the number of first type neighboring cells).

[0725] For example, P RTD_NC =4*N cellList (N cellList >=1), where N cellList is the number of first-category neighboring cells.

[0726] The first parameter (P RTD_NC ) can be 4 times the third number, the third number can be equal to the number of the second type of adjacent cells, and the third number can also be less than the number of the second type of adjacent cells. For example, it can be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of adjacent cells.

[0727] For example, P RTD_NC =4*N Neighbor_Cell (N Neighbur_Cell >=1), where N Neighbur_Cell is the number of the second type of neighboring cells, and the terminal device may also select all cells or part of the cells to be measured.

[0728] Optional implementation method 1b: The first type of adjacent cells have a higher priority. When the active TCI state list is configured, the terminal device only measures the first type of adjacent cells and skips the second type of adjacent cells, that is, does not measure the second type of adjacent cells.

[0729] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) may be twice the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells). The second type of neighboring cells are not configured with the first parameter, or the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cells is an invalid value.

[0730] For example, P RTD_NC =2*NcellList (N cellList >=1), where N cellList is the number of first-category neighboring cells.

[0731] Optional implementation method 2: The FFT processing time can be shared by the serving cell, the first type of neighboring cells, and the second type of neighboring cells.

[0732] Optionally, the terminal device has only one FFT processor, and the processing time of the one FFT processor can be divided into three parts, which are shared by the serving cell, the first type of adjacent cell and the second type of adjacent cell in the same frequency layer.

[0733] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) can be 3 times the second number (the number of first type neighboring cells).

[0734] For example, P RTD_NC =3*N cellList (N cellList >=1), where N cellList is the number of first-category neighboring cells.

[0735] The first parameter (P RTD_NC ) may be three times the third number. Optionally, the third number may be equal to the number of the second type of neighboring cells, or may be less than the number of the second type of neighboring cells. For example, the third number may be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of neighboring cells.

[0736] For example, P RTD_NC =3*N Neighbor_Cell (N Neighbur_Cell >=1), where N Neighbur_Cell is the number of the second type of neighboring cells, and the terminal device may also select all cells or part of the cells to be measured.

[0737] Optional implementation method 3: The FFT processing time is shared according to the total number of serving cells and neighboring cells.

[0738] Optionally, the terminal device has only one FFT processor, and the processing time of the one FFT processor can be shared according to the total number of cells in the same frequency layer.

[0739] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC) may also be equal to the sum of the second number (the number of first-category neighboring cells), the third number (the number of second-category neighboring cells), and a fourth value (e.g., 1). The first-category neighboring cells and the second-category neighboring cells correspond to the same first parameter. Optionally, the third number may be equal to the number of second-category neighboring cells, or the third number may be less than the number of second-category neighboring cells. For example, it may be the number selected by the terminal device from the second-category neighboring cells.

[0740] For example, P RTD_NC =N cellList +N Neighbor_Cell +1, where N cellList is the number of first-class neighboring cells, N Neighbur_Cell is the number of the second type of neighboring cells, and the terminal device may also select all cells or part of the cells to be measured.

[0741] Sub-scenario 2: The scenario where the terminal device is not configured with an activated TCI status list (for example, the terminal device has no adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list, or all adjacent cells of the terminal device are not on the activated TCI status list).

[0742] Optional implementation mode 4: the serving cell has a higher priority.

[0743] Optionally, half of the FFT processing time will be dedicated to the serving cell, and the other half will be shared by neighboring cells.

[0744] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) can be twice the third number, the third number can be equal to the number of the second type of adjacent cells, and the third number can also be less than the number of the second type of adjacent cells. For example, it can be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of adjacent cells.

[0745] For example, P RTD_NC =2*N Neighbor_Cell (N Neighbur_Cell >=1), where N Neighbur_Cell is the number of the second type of neighboring cells, and the terminal device may also select all cells or part of the cells to be measured.

[0746] Optional implementation method 5: The FFT processing time is shared according to the total number of serving cells and neighboring cells.

[0747] Optionally, the terminal device has only one FFT processor, and the processing time of the one FFT processor can be shared according to the total number of cells in the same frequency layer.

[0748] For example, the first parameter (P RTD_NC ) may also be equal to the sum of the third number and a sixth value (for example, 1). The third number may be equal to the number of the second type of adjacent cells. The third number may also be less than the number of the second type of adjacent cells. For example, it may be the number selected by the terminal device from the second type of adjacent cells.

[0749] For example, P RTD_NC =N Neighbor_Cell +1, where N Neighbur_Cell is the number of the second type of neighboring cells, and the terminal device may also select all cells or part of the cells to be measured.

[0750] In some embodiments, the first measurement period can be determined based on the first parameter and the second information. For the second information and the optional implementation of determining the first measurement period based on the first parameter and the second information, reference can be made to the description in the previous embodiments of the present disclosure, which will not be repeated here.

[0751] Step S5102: Determine a second measurement cycle.

[0752] In some embodiments, the second measurement period may be determined based on a second parameter. The second parameter may be a scaling factor for the measurement period corresponding to the serving cell. Optionally, the second parameter may be referred to as P RTD_SC .

[0753] In some embodiments, a second parameter may be determined based on the first information, and a second measurement period may be determined based on the second parameter.

[0754] In some embodiments, different scenarios may be distinguished to determine the second parameter.

[0755] Scenario 1: The number of adjacent cells is 1.

[0756] Half of the processing time of the FFT processor may be dedicated to the serving cell, and the other half may be allocated to the neighboring cell.

[0757] In the case where at least one symbol of the SSB from the target cell (including the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell) is overlapped or adjacent in the time domain, if the number of neighboring cells to be measured by the terminal device is 1, the second parameter (P RTD_SC ) can be equal to 2.

[0758] Scenario 2: The number of adjacent cells is greater than 1.
