It should be noted that, the terminal device 102 may receive the first measurement configuration information when camping on the foregoing cell; or the terminal device 102 may receive the first measurement configuration information of the foregoing cell (e.g., referred to as cell a) while camping on another cell (e.g., referred to as cell b); or the terminal device 102 may receive the first measurement configuration information without camping on any cell, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. Alternatively, the cell a may be a neighbor cell of the cell b.

Wherein the terminal device 102 is an entity on the user side for receiving or transmitting signals. The terminal device 102 may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), a terminal (terminal), a Mobile Station (MS), a Mobile Terminal (MT), etc. The terminal device 102 may be a mobile phone, a wearable device, a tablet (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiving functionality, a Virtual Reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control (industrial control), a wireless terminal in unmanned-driving (self-driving), a wireless terminal in teleoperation (remote medical surgery), a wireless terminal in smart grid (SMART GRID), a wireless terminal in transportation security (transportation safety), a wireless terminal in smart city (SMART CITY), a wireless terminal in smart home (smart home), a terminal device for supporting enhanced machine type communication (ENHANCED MACHINE-Type communication, eMTC) and/or long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) supporting universal mobile communication technology, etc. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific technology and the specific equipment form adopted by the terminal equipment.

It should be noted that the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to various communication systems. For example: fifth generation (5th generation,5G) mobile communication systems, 5G new radio, NR systems. Optionally, the method according to the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to various future communication systems, such as a 6G system or other communication networks.

The measurement method provided by the embodiment of the application can be executed by the terminal equipment and the access network equipment, or by the chip in the terminal equipment and the chip in the access network equipment. The following embodiments describe an example in which an execution body of a measurement method is a terminal device and an access network device.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flow chart of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the application. The measuring method comprises the following steps:

s201, the access network equipment sends first measurement configuration information of the cell. Correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives the first measurement configuration information of the cell.

After determining the first measurement configuration information of the cell, the access network device may broadcast the first measurement configuration information in the first cell. Or the access network device may send the first measurement configuration information to the terminal device. For example, the access network device may send a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) reconfiguration message to the terminal device, the RRC reconfiguration message including first measurement configuration information of the cell. Wherein the terminal device may be within the coverage area of the cell.

S202, the terminal equipment judges whether the first measurement configuration information is valid.

After receiving the first measurement configuration information of the cell, the terminal device may determine whether the first measurement configuration information is valid.

In one implementation, the measurement configuration information (e.g., first measurement configuration information, second measurement configuration information) may include a first parameter and a second parameter. Wherein the first parameter may be used to indicate whether or not to measure SSB of the aforementioned cell. If the first parameter is used to indicate that SSB of the cell is to be measured, the terminal device may further determine which SSB or SSBs of the cell is to be measured based on the second parameter. The second parameter may be used to indicate 0, 1 or more SSBs for the cell, as agreed in the protocol. If the second parameter is used to indicate 3 SSBs of the cell, and the 3 SSBs are SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3, respectively, then the terminal device may determine to measure SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 according to the second parameter.

Since the second parameter may indicate 0 SSBs, in case the first parameter is used to indicate measurement of SSBs of a cell, it will result in that the terminal device cannot measure SSBs of the cell. That is, the first parameter is used to indicate that SSB of a cell is measured, but the second parameter is used to indicate that the first measurement configuration information of the cell is an invalid configuration, and the terminal device cannot normally measure SSB according to the first measurement configuration information. In order to avoid this, under the condition that the first measurement configuration information is determined to be cancelled, the first measurement configuration information is modified so that the second measurement configuration information obtained after modification is effective, and further SSB measurement is performed according to the effective second measurement configuration information, which is beneficial to ensuring normal performance of the terminal device on SSB measurement.

In one implementation, the determination of whether the first measurement configuration information is valid may be made by: if the first parameter in the first measurement configuration information is used for indicating to measure the SSB of the cell and the second parameter in the first measurement configuration information is used for indicating 0 SSB of the cell, judging that the first measurement configuration information is invalid. It can be appreciated that if the first parameter in the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate to measure the SSB of the cell, and the second parameter in the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate at least one SSB of the cell, then the first measurement configuration information is determined to be valid. If the first parameter in the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate that the SSB of the cell is not measured, it may be determined that the first measurement configuration information is valid. If the first parameter in the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate that SSB of the cell is not measured, and the second parameter in the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate 0 SSBs (or at least one SSB) of the cell, it may be determined that the first measurement configuration information is valid.

And S203, if the first measurement configuration information is invalid, the terminal equipment modifies the first measurement configuration information to obtain second measurement configuration information.

After judging whether the first measurement configuration information is valid or not, if the first measurement configuration information is invalid, the terminal equipment modifies the first measurement configuration information to obtain second measurement configuration information, and the second measurement configuration information is valid. If the first measurement configuration information is valid, the terminal device may measure SSB of the cell according to the first measurement configuration information.

In one implementation, the first measurement configuration information may be modified to obtain the second measurement configuration information by: modifying the second parameter in the first measurement configuration information to obtain second measurement configuration information; the second measurement configuration information comprises a modified second parameter for indicating at least one SSB of the aforementioned cell. The second parameter in the first measurement configuration information is modified such that the modified second parameter (in the second measurement configuration information) is indicative of the at least one SSB. Further, the terminal device may measure at least one SSB indicated by the modified second parameter. In this way, the terminal device can normally measure the SSB of the cell. It should be noted that the second measurement configuration information further includes a first parameter, and the first parameter is the same as the first parameter in the first measurement configuration information.

In one implementation, the second parameter in the first measurement configuration information may include a bitmap (bitmap), and the value of the bitmap may be matched with 0 SSBs of the foregoing cell. The meaning of matching the value of the bitmap with 0 SSB of the cell is as follows: the value of the bitmap is used to indicate 0 SSBs of the cell. In one implementation manner, the specific implementation manner of modifying the second parameter in the first measurement configuration information by the terminal device to obtain the second measurement configuration information may be: modifying the value of the bitmap to obtain second measurement configuration information; the second measurement configuration information includes a modified bitmap, and the modified bitmap has a value that matches the at least one SSB (at least one SSB indicated by the modified second parameter). The meaning of the value of the modified bitmap matched with the at least one SSB is as follows: the modified bitmap value is used to indicate at least one SSB for the cell. It should be noted that, the bit number occupied by the modified bitmap is the same as the bit number occupied by the bitmap before modification, and the modified bitmap only modifies the value of at least one bit in the bitmap before modification.

In one implementation, the bitmap (included in the second parameter in the first measurement configuration information) may occupy M bits (bit) and one bit in the bitmap corresponds to one SSB of the cell; m is a positive integer. For example, taking m=4 as an example, a schematic diagram of bitmap may be shown in fig. 3. The 1 st bit on the left in the bitmap may correspond to SSB with index (index) of 0, the 2 nd bit on the left in the bitmap may correspond to SSB with index of 1, and so on.

In one implementation, the number of at least one SSB (or at least one SSB indicated by the modified second parameter) that matches the value of the modified bitmap may be M. The bitmap occupies M bits, and the bitmap can indicate at most M SSBs. The number of at least one SSB (or at least one SSB indicated by the modified second parameter) that matches the value of the modified bitmap is M, representing: the modified bitmap is obtained by modifying the value of each bit in the bitmap before modification. At this time, the SSB of the cell is measured according to the second measurement configuration information, which means that all SSBs indicated by the second measurement configuration information are measured.

In one implementation, the value of each bit in the (pre-modified) bitmap may be a first preset value, e.g., 0; the value of each bit in the modified bitmap may be a second preset value, for example, 1. When the terminal device determines which SSB or SSBs need to be measured according to the bitmap (e.g., the bitmap before modification or the bitmap after modification), the terminal device may specifically measure the SSB corresponding to the bit with the value of the second preset value in the bitmap, and not measure the SSB corresponding to the bit with the value of the first preset value in the bitmap.

It should be noted that, the terminal device may modify the first measurement configuration information in the physical layer to obtain the second measurement configuration information.

It should be further noted that, the bitmap occupies M bits for example, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. The terminal device may include multiple types of bitmaps, and bits occupied by different types of bitmaps may be different. Alternatively, the bitmap in the first measurement configuration information may be determined as follows: and determining the bitmap in the first measurement configuration information according to the frequency band of the network where the terminal equipment is located. The frequency band of the network where the terminal device is located may be the frequency band currently searched by the terminal device in the cell searching process, or the working frequency band of the cell to which the terminal device is connected. For example, 3 bitmaps shown in table 1 are used. As can be seen from table 1, taking the 5G band as an example, bitmaps corresponding to different 5G bands may be different.

TABLE 1

S204, the terminal equipment measures the SSB of the cell according to the second measurement configuration information.

And the terminal equipment obtains the second measurement configuration information and can measure the SSB of the cell according to the second measurement configuration information. Alternatively, the same frequency measurement, different frequency measurement, or different system measurement may be performed, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the terminal device may measure, at the physical layer, the SSB of the foregoing cell according to the second measurement configuration information.

Alternatively, in the NR system, the foregoing first measurement configuration information and second measurement configuration information may be ssb_ ToMeasure. The aforementioned first parameter (the first parameter in the first measurement configuration information or the second measurement configuration information) may be ssb_ ToMeasure _exist, and if ssb_ ToMeasure _exist=true, the first parameter is used to indicate that the SSB of the cell is measured; if ssb_ ToMeasure _exist=false, it indicates that the first parameter is used to indicate that SSB of the cell is not measured.

By implementing the embodiment of the application, the invalid first measurement configuration information is modified, and the SSB of the cell is measured by adopting the second measurement configuration information obtained after modification, so that the SSB is ensured to be measured, and the situation that the SSB cannot be measured is avoided.
