Description

Measurement configuration method, measurement method, network side equipment and terminal

Technical Field

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a measurement configuration method, a measurement method, network side equipment and a terminal.

Background

The following briefly introduces several points related to terminal (UE) measurement:

1. about terminal measurements

In Long Term Evolution (LTE), for UE IDLE (IDLE) measurement, a trigger condition for when to perform measurement is defined in the 36.304 protocol, and measurement related requirements are also defined in the 36.133 protocol. When the UE performs cell selection or reselection in an idle state, different cells are measured, and Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ) of Reference signals of the cells are measured to serve as one of references for subsequently determining whether the cells can reside.

In the connected State, what kind of measurement can be performed by the network side for the UE configuration may be based on a synchronization Signal/physical broadcast Channel Block (SS/PBCH Block) or a Channel State information-reference Signal (CSI-RS) measurement.

2. Bandwidth part (BWP for short)

In the 5G NR system, one cell supports the system bandwidth of up to 400MHz at maximum, and is far larger than the system bandwidth of LTE 20MHz at maximum, so as to support larger system and user throughput. However, supporting such a large system bandwidth would be a great challenge for UE implementation, and is not favorable for low-cost UE implementation. Thus, the 5G NR system also supports dynamic flexible bandwidth allocation, dividing the system bandwidth into multiple BWPs to support access by narrowband end users, or end users in power-save mode.

Meanwhile, NR cells also support different resource configurations (Numerology) configured at different bandwidths, and if the UE cannot support all Numerology of a cell, it may avoid configuring a corresponding frequency band to the UE when BWP is configured for the UE.

The network configures an available BWP set for each cell for the UE through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and may dynamically switch the BWPs to be started through L1 signaling, that is, activate one BWP and deactivate the currently activated BWP. Furthermore, the BWP handover may also be controlled by a BWP deactivation timer (BWP-inactiveTimer), i.e. when the timer expires, the UE autonomously switches to default downlink BWP (default DL BWP) or initial downlink BWP (initial DL BWP).

Currently, in the protocol, a UE may be allocated multiple Measurement Objects (MO), and each Measurement object is a cell from the UE perspective. Meanwhile, the current protocol only supports one activated BWP, and after BWP-inactiveTimer corresponding to the activated BWP is timed out, the UE deactivates the activated BWP and autonomously falls back to the configured default downlink BWP. As the technology evolves, a scenario may occur in which multiple BWPs are simultaneously activated for one UE, and in this case, it is not clear how to determine the measurement result of the serving cell (serving cell).
