[0119] Multiple concurrent measurement gaps (MGs) can be understood as multiple sets of measurement gaps configured through radio resource control (RRC). Due to the limited processing capabilities of the terminal, when multiple sets of configured measurement intervals overlap in the time domain, the network device will indicate the priority of the measurement interval; for example, the network device will indicate that the priority of measurement interval pattern_i is k, the priority of measurement interval pattern_j is h, and so on. When there is time domain overlap between measurement intervals, the final measurement interval to be adopted can be determined by comparing the priorities corresponding to the measurement intervals. For example, a measurement interval with a high priority is adopted and a measurement interval with a low priority is abandoned. There are two situations in which multiple sets of measurement intervals overlap in the time domain: there is actual overlap in the time domain; there is no overlap in the time domain but the distance between the two is less than a certain value.

[0120] A preconfigured measurement interval means that the network device has configured a measurement interval through RRC, but the measurement interval has not taken effect and needs to be activated. Activation means that the measurement interval is effective and can be used by the terminal. Accordingly, the preconfigured measurement interval can also be deactivated. The activation or deactivation of the preconfigured measurement interval can be indicated by the network device, or the terminal can independently determine whether to activate or deactivate the measurement interval based on specific events. Due to the need to load relevant information, it takes a certain amount of time for the terminal to activate or deactivate the preconfigured measurement interval, usually 5ms. During this period, the status of the preconfigured measurement interval is ambiguous, and it is impossible to determine whether the measurement interval is in an activated state or a deactivated state.

[0121] When multiple concurrent measurement intervals are used in combination with preconfigured measurement intervals, that is, multiple concurrent measurement intervals include preconfigured measurement intervals, if a preconfigured measurement interval with time domain overlap is in the activation / deactivation process, the terminal cannot handle the time domain overlap problem. Specifically, when other measurement intervals overlap with the preconfigured measurement interval in the time domain, or when two preconfigured measurement intervals overlap in the time domain, if the preconfigured measurement interval is in the activation / deactivation process, the priority information cannot be applied (the priority is applied to the effective / activated measurement interval), then the terminal cannot determine which measurement interval to retain or which measurement interval to abandon based on the measurement interval priority method.

[0122] Based on this, in each embodiment of the present application, the network device sends a first message to the terminal, and the first message includes at least one of the following: second information, third information, and fourth information, wherein the second information is used to instruct the terminal to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval; the third information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; the fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; the terminal performs at least one of the following operations when there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval: apply the abandonment rule; perform measurement within the first measurement interval; abandon the first measurement interval. The above scheme clarifies the operation performed by the terminal when there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and the terminal can determine the measurement interval finally used.

[0123] The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0124] The present invention provides a measurement method for a terminal, which is also called a user equipment (UE). As shown in FIG1 , the method includes:

[0125] Step 101: When a preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with a first measurement interval, perform at least one of the following operations:

[0126] Apply the abandonment rules;

[0127] performing measurement within the first measurement interval;

[0128] The first measurement interval is abandoned.

[0129] Here, the gain of this solution lies in: when the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval (for example, among concurrent measurement intervals, one is the preconfigured measurement interval and the other measurement intervals are the first measurement intervals), if the preconfigured measurement interval is in the state transition process, then during this period, the state of the preconfigured measurement interval is ambiguous (that is, it is impossible to determine whether the preconfigured measurement interval has been activated or deactivated), resulting in the inability to determine the conflict state of the two (preconfigured measurement interval, first measurement interval), nor can it be determined which of the two can be used; in this embodiment, when there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, the above three operations are provided to enable the terminal to determine the measurement interval finally used. The three operations correspond to three solutions, and these three solutions can be used independently or in any combination.

[0130] Applying the drop rule can be understood as meaning that even if a preconfigured measurement gap is in the process of transitioning between states, regardless of whether the state of the preconfigured measurement gap has been determined (whether it has been activated or deactivated), the priority rule is used to determine how to choose between the preconfigured measurement gap and the first measurement gap. That is, between the preconfigured measurement gap and the first measurement gap, the higher-priority measurement gap is retained and the lower-priority measurement gap is dropped. The drop rule can be described as a dropping rule. Specifically, the drop rule includes: dropping the lower-priority measurement gap and / or retaining the higher-priority measurement gap. The pre-configured measurement gap (Pre-MG) can be abbreviated as Pre-MG.

[0131] Performing measurements within the first measurement interval can be understood as continuing to use the first measurement interval during this period, regardless of the state of the preconfigured measurement interval. This delays the processing time for the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval. Because the preconfigured measurement interval is in the state transition process, it is impossible to determine whether the preconfigured measurement interval has been activated or deactivated (activation can be understood as the preconfigured measurement interval being usable by the terminal. If the preconfigured measurement interval overlaps with the first measurement interval, there is a conflict between the two; deactivation can be understood as the preconfigured measurement interval being unusable by the terminal. It can be understood as the preconfigured measurement interval not existing, that is, there is no conflict with the first measurement interval). Therefore, adopting the abandonment rule is not the preferred solution. Therefore, this solution prioritizes continuing to use the first measurement interval for measurement. In other words, performing measurements within the first measurement interval indicates the use of the first measurement interval. Specifically, the preconfigured measurement interval that conflicts with the first measurement interval can be abandoned, or the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval can be delayed until after the first measurement interval. Specifically, application scenarios include when the first measurement interval conflicts with the activation process of the Pre-MG. In this case, performing measurements within the first measurement interval delays the activation process of the Pre-MG. Furthermore, in the above application scenario, the priority of the Pre-MG is higher (ie, the priority of the Pre-MG is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval).

[0132] Abandoning the first measurement interval can also be described as performing measurements within a preconfigured measurement interval. Alternatively, abandoning the first measurement interval can be understood as abandoning the first measurement interval within the scope of the conflict, and the terminal performs relevant processing of the preconfigured measurement interval, such as activation / deactivation. In other words, abandoning the first measurement interval represents performing measurements within a preconfigured measurement interval that conflicts with the first measurement interval. Specifically, application scenarios include scenarios when the first measurement interval conflicts with the deactivation process of Pre-MG. In this case, the first measurement interval is abandoned and measurements are performed within the preconfigured measurement interval. Furthermore, in the above application scenarios, the priority of Pre-MG is higher (that is, the priority of Pre-MG is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval).

[0133] The first measurement interval includes at least one of the following: a preconfigured measurement interval, a gap of a Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module (MUSIM), a network controlled small gap (NCSG), and a type 2 measurement interval (i.e., a measurement interval without priority). The gap of the Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module can also be described as a MUSIM gap or a MUSIM gap(s), or as a measurement interval of the Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module, i.e., a MUSIM measurement gap(s). The first measurement interval can also be described as a measurement interval, or as an interval. The main scenario is that there is a Pre-MG in a concurrent measurement interval, and a Pre-MG conflicts with other measurement intervals in the concurrent measurement interval. The first measurement interval is used to refer to other measurement intervals in the concurrent measurement interval.

[0134] It should be noted that the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval are both measurement intervals. The English name of the measurement interval is measurement gap, or the measurement interval is abbreviated as MG. The measurement interval is a concept in the time domain, including the measurement gap repetition period (MGRP), MGL, and offset. Within the MGL of the measurement interval, the terminal disconnects from the current service frequency point and tunes to the target reference symbol position for measurement, that is, the original service cell cannot schedule the terminal, and there is a throughput loss. The preconfigured measurement interval means that the network side (such as the network device) has configured the measurement interval through RRC, but the measurement interval has not taken effect and needs to be activated. Activation means that the measurement interval is effective and can be used by the terminal; accordingly, the preconfigured measurement interval can also be deactivated. The activation or deactivation of the preconfigured measurement interval can be indicated by the network side (such as the network device), or the terminal can autonomously determine whether to activate or deactivate based on specific events.

[0135] It should be noted that conflict can also be described as overlap, time domain overlap, or collision. That is, a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval can also be understood as overlap, time domain overlap, or collision. Time domain overlap of measurement intervals includes two situations: actual overlap in the time domain; and no overlap in the time domain, but the time domain interval is less than a certain value or range. The time domain interval can also be described as a time domain interval.

[0136] Considering that the preconfigured measurement interval needs to be activated before it takes effect, and the effective preconfigured measurement interval becomes invalid after deactivation, the preconfigured measurement interval involves state transition. Based on this, in one embodiment, the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, including that the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval.

[0137] Here, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval. It can be understood that the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within the first measurement interval, or it can be understood that: the trigger time of the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the time domain interval between the start time or end time of the first measurement interval are less than a certain value or a certain range.

[0138] In one embodiment, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval includes activation and / or deactivation of the preconfigured measurement interval.

[0139] Here, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval includes the activation and / or deactivation of the preconfigured measurement interval. Specifically, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval may be that after the preconfigured measurement interval is configured to the terminal by the network side (e.g., a network device), the network side (e.g., a network device) may instruct the terminal to activate it through indication information, or the terminal may activate it when it determines that a specific condition is met (e.g., there is a measurement target that requires a measurement interval). The measurement target may also be described as a frequency point or a measurement frequency point. The state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval may also be that for an activated preconfigured measurement interval, the network side (e.g., a network device) instructs the terminal to deactivate it through indication information, or the terminal may deactivate it when it determines that a specific condition is met (e.g., there is no measurement target that requires a measurement interval). The state transition may also be described as a state transition or a state change.

[0140] It should be noted that the conflict between the state change of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval includes a conflict between the activation process of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, or a conflict between the deactivation process of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval.

[0141] In order to accurately determine whether the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval conflict, based on the existence of a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, including the existence of a conflict between a state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, in one embodiment, the existence of a conflict between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval occurs when at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0142] The state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within a first time before the start of the first measurement interval;

[0143] The state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within a second time after the end of the first measurement interval;

[0144] The state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within the first measurement interval;

[0145] The distance between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds;

[0146] The end point of the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within a first time period, the start point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds before the start point of the first measurement interval, and the end point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds after the end point of the first measurement interval.

[0147] Here, the values ​​of the first time and the second time can be the same or different. The values ​​of the first time and the second time are related to the processing capabilities of the terminal. Different terminals can use different first times and second times. Since the terminal needs to process the relevant parameters / configurations, the processing takes time. During this period, the state of the preconfigured measurement interval is ambiguous, that is, it is impossible to determine whether the preconfigured measurement interval has been activated or deactivated, resulting in the inability to determine whether there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and it is also impossible to determine which of the two can be used. Therefore, even if the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval does not occur within the MGL of the first measurement interval, if the time domain interval between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than a certain range, it is also considered that the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval are in conflict. The first time can be described as a first duration, and the second time can be described as a second duration. The values ​​of the first time and the second time can be in milliseconds, such as 4ms.

[0148] The state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within a first time before the start of the first measurement interval. This can also be described as follows: the interval, distance, or difference between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the start position of the first measurement interval is less than or equal to the first time, as shown in Figure 2. The interval, distance, and difference are parameters in the time domain dimension.

[0149] The state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within the second time after the end of the first measurement interval, and can also be described as: the interval, distance or difference between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the end position of the first measurement interval is less than or equal to the second time, as shown in Figure 3.

[0150] It should be noted that the first measurement interval here can also be described as a certain first measurement interval position or positions or a certain first measurement interval opportunity, and the opportunity can be described as an instance or occasion. The first measurement interval occurs periodically, and each occurrence can be called a measurement opportunity (instance or occasion) because the first measurement interval occurs periodically, and the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval is sporadic (it can be understood that the state transition process occurs within a specific period of time, and the preconfigured measurement interval also occurs periodically after activation). Therefore, the conflict exists between the state change of the preconfigured measurement interval and a certain / certain first measurement interval position / occasion, that is, the state change of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with a certain or certain first measurement interval position / occasion.

[0151] The distance between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds, which can be understood as: the distance, interval, or difference between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds.

[0152] The end point of the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within the first time period, which can be understood as: the end moment of the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within the first time period. The starting point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds before the starting point of the first measurement interval, which can be understood as: the interval between the starting point of the first time period and the starting point of the first measurement interval is 4 milliseconds, and the starting point of the first time period is before the starting point of the first measurement interval; the starting point can also be described as the starting moment. The end point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds after the end point of the first measurement interval, which can also be understood as: the interval between the end point of the first time period and the end point of the first measurement interval is 4 milliseconds, and the end point of the first time period is after the end point of the first measurement interval; the end point can also be described as the end moment. The end point of the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval occurs within the first time period, the starting point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds before the starting point of the first measurement interval, and the end point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds after the end point of the first measurement interval. It can also be described as when the end point of the preconfigured measurement interval activation / deactivation occurs within the first time period, the starting point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds before the start point of the interval opportunity, and the end point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds after the end point of the interval opportunity.

[0153] In one embodiment, performing measurement within the first measurement interval includes:

[0154] The measurement is performed within the first measurement interval within a first time range, wherein the first time range includes at least one of the following:

[0155] within a first time period before the start of the first measurement interval;

[0156] within a second time after the end of the first measurement interval;

[0157] In the first measurement interval.

[0158] Here, when the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval (that is, overlaps in the time domain), the process of the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval requires processing time. Due to the limited processing capability of the terminal, the terminal cannot simultaneously perform measurements in the first measurement interval and the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval. The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is: within a first time range, based on the first measurement interval, measurements are performed within the first measurement interval, and the state change of the preconfigured measurement interval is delayed to after the first measurement interval or after the first measurement interval plus a certain time for processing. That is to say, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval is delayed to after the first measurement interval or after the first measurement interval plus a certain time (for example, the third time below) for processing. The first time range includes a first time before the start of the first measurement interval, and / or, a second time after the end of the first measurement interval, and / or, in the first measurement interval.

[0159] Furthermore, after the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval is completed, since the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval both appear periodically, the conflict between the subsequent preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is handled by the abandonment rule, that is, after the first measurement interval, or after the first measurement interval plus the third time, the terminal applies the abandonment rule.

[0160] After the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval is completed, in one embodiment, the application abandonment rule includes:

[0161] After the first measurement interval or after the first measurement interval plus a third time, a drop rule is applied.

[0162] Here, the third time may be described as a third duration.

[0163] In one embodiment, the status of the preconfigured measurement interval takes effect after the first measurement interval plus a third time.

[0164] Here, when the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval (i.e., time domain overlap), the process of the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval requires processing time. Due to the limited processing capability of the terminal, the terminal cannot simultaneously perform measurements within the first measurement interval and the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval. Therefore, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval is delayed, and the state of the preconfigured measurement interval takes effect after the first measurement interval plus the third time. In this way, the preconfigured measurement interval of the delayed state transition does not conflict with the first measurement interval. The state of the preconfigured measurement interval includes the activation state and / or deactivation state of the preconfigured measurement interval.

[0165] In one embodiment, the activation time and / or deactivation time of the preconfigured measurement interval is a fourth time.

[0166] Here, the activation time and / or deactivation time of the preconfigured measurement interval is the fourth time; the fourth time can be a time, or it can be expressed as: processing time + fourth time; the processing time can be 5 milliseconds (ms). The fourth time is at the millisecond level, the fourth time can be 7ms, or it can be described as 5ms+2ms. The fourth time can be 5ms (depending on the terminal processing capability, some terminals may not require additional processing time). The activation time and / or deactivation time of the preconfigured measurement interval can also be described as the activation delay and / or deactivation delay of the preconfigured measurement interval. That is, the activation time of the preconfigured measurement interval can also be described as the activation delay of the preconfigured measurement interval; the deactivation time of the preconfigured measurement interval can also be described as the deactivation delay of the preconfigured measurement interval. The fourth time can be described as a fourth duration.

[0167] When the fourth time is expressed as: processing time + fourth time, since the activation time or deactivation time of the preconfigured measurement interval includes the processing time of the terminal for the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval, such as the processing time from activation to deactivation, and the processing time from deactivation to activation, if there is only one preconfigured processing time, then the value of the fourth time is equal to 0ms; if there are two preconfigured measurement intervals in the first measurement interval, then the conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval includes the overlap of the preconfigured measurement interval and the preconfigured measurement interval, then the processing time of 5ms is insufficient and more time is required (for example, the fourth time is 2ms). The fourth time can be used to determine the relationship between the two preconfigured measurement intervals to determine whether there is overlap between the two.

[0168] In order to resolve the conflict between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval to determine the currently used measurement interval, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0169] If there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, delaying a state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval; or

[0170] When the time distance between the preconfigured measurement interval to be activated and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 5 milliseconds, the preconfigured measurement interval is abandoned, and the abandoned preconfigured measurement interval is the first preconfigured measurement interval after the preconfigured measurement interval activation process.

[0171] Here, in the case that the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval may be delayed until after the first measurement interval.

[0172] The activation time for a preconfigured measurement interval is typically 5ms. If the time interval between the preconfigured measurement interval to be activated and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 5ms, the terminal cannot complete the activation process, which will affect subsequent periodic preconfigured measurement intervals, primarily the first preconfigured measurement interval. To standardize terminal behavior, the terminal can be required to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval. That is, if the time interval between the preconfigured measurement interval to be activated and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 5ms, the terminal abandons the first preconfigured measurement interval after the preconfigured measurement interval activation process. For example, the activation process for the preconfigured measurement interval to be activated starts at T0 and ends at T1. When the preconfigured measurement interval is successfully activated within the time period T0-T1, it takes effect at time T2 after T1. That is, the preconfigured measurement intervals occur periodically starting at time T2, with the first preconfigured measurement interval occurring at T2, the second at T2+C, the third at T2+2C, and so on. However, if the activation process T0-T1 overlaps with the first time interval T3-T4 (the first measurement interval starts at T3 and ends at T4), for example, if the time interval is less than or equal to 5ms, then the activation process for the preconfigured measurement interval to be activated conflicts with the first measurement interval. In this case, the activation process cannot be executed as scheduled during T0-T1 and is postponed to a period after the first time interval (i.e., after T4). Due to the postponement of the activation process, the preconfigured measurement interval may not have been activated at time T2, thus forgoing the first preconfigured measurement interval that was supposed to occur at time T2. During the time slot of the abandoned preconfigured measurement interval, the terminal may send at least one of the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and the sounding reference signal (SRS), or receive at least one of the following: the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the timing reference signal (TRS), and the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0173] In order to facilitate the terminal in determining a solution or handling method for the measurement interval conflict, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0174] Acquire first information, where the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0175] second information, where the second information is used to instruct the terminal to delay a state transition process of a preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval;

[0176] third information, where the third information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval;

[0177] The fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval.

[0178] Here, the terminal may obtain the first information from the network device, that is, obtain the first information from the network side, or obtain the first information predefined in the protocol.

[0179] Based on the first information obtained, if the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, the terminal determines which method to use to resolve the measurement interval conflict based on the first information. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0180] Do at least one of the following:

[0181] After the MGL of the first measurement interval, performing a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval;

[0182] When the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval, abandoning the first measurement interval;

[0183] If the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, after the MGL of the first measurement interval, performing a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval;

[0184] When the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, performing measurement in the first measurement interval;

[0185] In a case where the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval, a state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval is performed.

[0186] Here, when the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval and the first information includes the second information, the terminal may perform a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval after the MGL of the first measurement interval.

[0187] When there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and the first information contains the third information, the terminal determines whether to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval. Specifically, when the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal performs a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval after the MGL of the first measurement interval, and gives priority to measurement within the first measurement interval; when the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal performs a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval, and gives priority to measurement within the preconfigured measurement interval. It should be noted that, when the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is the same as the priority of the first measurement interval, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval may also be performed after the MGL of the first measurement interval.

[0188] If a preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval and the first information includes the fourth information, the terminal determines whether to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval based on the measurement interval priority. If the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal abandons the first measurement interval and performs measurements within the preconfigured measurement interval. If the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal abandons the preconfigured measurement interval and performs measurements within the first measurement interval. It should be noted that if the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is the same as the priority of the first measurement interval, either the preconfigured measurement interval or the first measurement interval can be abandoned. The terminal determines whether to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval based on the measurement interval priority. This approach is simple to implement. The terminal does not need to consider the impact of different states of the preconfigured measurement interval on measurement interval overlap, nor does it need to adopt different processing for different states of the preconfigured measurement interval. However, the throughput gain of the preconfigured measurement interval is lost. Of course, if the preconfigured measurement interval is in the deactivated state, it is equivalent to not configuring the preconfigured measurement interval, and there is no throughput loss.

[0189] In order to resolve a conflict between a state transition of a preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval to determine a currently used measurement interval, in one embodiment, performing a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval after the MGL of the first measurement interval includes:

[0190] At a fifth time, the preconfigured measurement interval is activated or deactivated; wherein,

[0191] The fifth time represents the end time of the MGL of the first measurement interval, or the time after the MGL of the first measurement interval plus the sixth time.

[0192] Here, the terminal may delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the MGL of the first measurement interval, or to after the MGL of the first measurement interval plus the sixth time. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the terminal may activate or deactivate the preconfigured measurement interval at the end moment of the MGL of the first measurement interval. For another example, as shown in Figure 5, the terminal may activate or deactivate the preconfigured measurement interval at a time after the MGL of the first measurement interval plus the sixth time.

[0193] It should be noted that the fifth time can also be described as a fifth delay or a fifth duration, and the sixth time can be described as a sixth duration.

[0194] Considering that different solutions to the measurement interval conflict have different requirements on the terminal's capabilities, in order to facilitate the network device in determining a solution to the measurement interval conflict, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0195] Sending fifth information to the network device, where the fifth information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0196] In the event that a preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, whether the terminal supports delaying a state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0197] In a case where the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, whether the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0198] whether the terminal supports abandoning a first measurement interval having a lower priority than a preconfigured measurement interval;

[0199] Whether the terminal supports / does not support the conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval.

[0200] Here, the fifth information can also be understood as the capability information of the terminal.

[0201] In a case where the fifth information indicates that the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, the first information may include the second information.

[0202] If the fifth information may indicate that when the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, then the first information may include the third information.

[0203] In a case where the fifth information may indicate that the terminal supports abandoning the first measurement interval having a lower priority than the preconfigured measurement interval, the first information may include the fourth information.

[0204] The conflict between the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval can also be described as a dynamic collision, that is, the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval dynamically collides with the first measurement interval. This is described as a dynamic collision because the preconfigured measurement interval is in the activation / deactivation process and its state is uncertain.

[0205] In order to accurately determine whether the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, in one embodiment, the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval if at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0206] The preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval partially overlap in the time domain;

[0207] The preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval completely overlap in the time domain;

[0208] A distance between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds.

[0209] Here, the conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval also applies to the scenario where the activated preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval. The activated preconfigured measurement interval means that the activation process has been completed and the preconfigured measurement interval is in an activated state and is effective.

[0210] In one embodiment, the distance between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval includes one of the following:

[0211] The time difference between the end point of the preconfigured measurement interval and the end point of the first measurement interval;

[0212] The time difference between the end point of the preconfigured measurement interval and the start point of the first measurement interval;

[0213] The time difference between the start point of the preconfigured measurement interval and the end point of the first measurement interval;

[0214] The time difference between the start point of the preconfigured measurement interval and the start point of the first measurement interval.

[0215] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0216] When at least one of the following conditions is met, the first measurement interval is abandoned:

[0217] The deactivation of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval;

[0218] The preconfigured measurement interval has higher priority.

[0219] Here, abandoning the first measurement interval can also be described as: performing measurements within the preconfigured measurement interval, or as abandoning the measurement interval opportunity, or as discarding the measurement interval opportunity. The deactivation of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, and can also be described as: the deactivation process of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval. Because the deactivation process (the deactivation process of the preconfigured measurement interval) conflicts with the first measurement interval, the state of the preconfigured measurement interval before the deactivation process is activated, so if the priority of Pre-MG (preconfigured measurement interval) is higher, then measurements can be performed in Pre-MG first in the state ambiguity stage; here, in the state ambiguity stage, it is impossible to determine whether the preconfigured measurement interval has been deactivated. The high priority of the preconfigured measurement interval can also be described as: the preconfigured measurement interval is configured with a higher priority, or as the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval.

[0220] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0221] When at least one of the following conditions is met, measurement is performed in the first measurement interval:

[0222] Activation of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval;

[0223] The preconfigured measurement interval has low priority;

[0224] The preconfigured measurement interval has higher priority.

[0225] Here, abandoning the first measurement interval can also be described as: performing measurements within the preconfigured measurement interval. The activation of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, which can also be described as: the activation process of the preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval. Because it is the activation process (the activation process of the preconfigured measurement interval) that conflicts with the first measurement interval, the state of the preconfigured measurement interval before the activation process is deactivated, so no matter whether the priority of Pre-MG (preconfigured measurement interval) is higher or lower, measurements can be performed in the first measurement interval in the state ambiguity stage; here, in the state ambiguity stage, it is impossible to determine whether the preconfigured measurement interval has been activated. The priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is low, which can also be described as: the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, or as the priority of the first measurement interval is high.

[0226] On the basis that the state transition of the preconfigured measurement interval includes activation and / or deactivation of the preconfigured measurement interval, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0227] Measurement is performed in the first measurement interval, and activation of the preconfigured measurement interval is postponed to a first time point, where the first time point is 5 milliseconds after the end point of the first measurement interval.

[0228] Here, the activation of the preconfigured measurement interval is postponed to the first time point, which can be understood as: postponing the activation process of the preconfigured measurement interval to the first time point, and the first time point can be understood as a moment. The first time point is the end point of the first measurement interval plus 5 milliseconds, which can be understood as: the first time point is 5 milliseconds after the end point of the first measurement interval; that is, the first time point is 5 milliseconds away from the end point of the first measurement interval, and the first time point is after the end point of the first measurement interval. The activation of the preconfigured measurement interval is postponed to the first time point, and the first time point is the end point of the first measurement interval plus 5 milliseconds. It can also be described as the activation of the preconfigured measurement interval being postponed to 5 milliseconds after the end point of the measurement interval opportunity.

[0229] Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present application also provides a measurement method, which is applied to a network device, which can be understood as a network-side device, including a base station. As shown in Figure 6, the method includes:

[0230] Step 601: Send first information to the terminal.

[0231] The first information includes at least one of the following:

[0232] second information, where the second information is used to instruct the terminal to delay a state transition process of a preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval;

[0233] third information, where the third information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval;

[0234] The fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval.

[0235] The network device may send the first information based on the capability of the terminal. Based on this, in one embodiment, before sending the first information to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0236] Receive fifth information sent by the terminal, wherein:

[0237] The fifth information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0238] In the event that a preconfigured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval, whether the terminal supports delaying a state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0239] In a case where the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, whether the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0240] whether the terminal supports abandoning a first measurement interval having a lower priority than a preconfigured measurement interval;

[0241] Whether the terminal supports / does not support the conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval.

[0242] Here, in the event that there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, if the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval, then the first information may include the second information; if the terminal does not support delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval, then the first information does not include the second information.

[0243] In the case where the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, if the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval, then the third information included in the first information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; if the terminal does not support delaying the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval to after the first measurement interval, then the first information may not include the third information.

[0244] When the fifth information indicates that the terminal supports abandoning the first measurement interval whose priority is lower than the preconfigured measurement interval, the fourth information included in the first information is used by the terminal to determine whether to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; when the fifth information indicates that the terminal does not support abandoning the first measurement interval whose priority is lower than the preconfigured measurement interval, the fourth information may be included in the first information.

[0245] In order to implement the terminal-side method of the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further provides a measurement device, which is provided on the terminal, as shown in FIG7 , and includes:
