Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system may include a terminal device 101 and an access network device 102. In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 101 may be a multi-card terminal device, that is, the terminal device 101 may have a plurality of identification cards. In the embodiment of the application, a dual-card terminal device is taken as an example, that is, two identification cards (such as a first identification card and a second identification card) exist in the terminal device for explanation, and the application is not limited. The area covered by the access network device 102 (e.g., the oval area marked with solid lines in fig. 1) may include one or more cells (e.g., the oval area marked with dashed lines in fig. 1) of the terminal device 101 within the coverage area of the access network device 102. For example, in fig. 1, 4 cells are shown in the area covered by the access network device 102, namely a first serving cell, a second serving cell, a first neighbor cell and a second neighbor cell. The first serving cell may be a serving cell where the first identity identification card of the terminal device 101 currently resides, and the first neighboring cell may be a neighboring cell of the first serving cell; the second serving cell may be a serving cell where the second identification card of the terminal device 101 currently resides, and the second neighboring cell may be a neighboring cell of the second serving cell. The first identity card of the terminal device 101 may perform neighbor cell measurement on the first neighbor cell, and the second identity card of the terminal device 101 may perform neighbor cell measurement on the second neighbor cell. It should be noted that, the areas covered by the first serving cell and the second serving cell may be the same or different; or may include a portion of the same coverage area, or may include a portion of different coverage areas, as the application is not limited in this regard. The areas covered by the first neighboring cell and the second neighboring cell may be identical or completely different; or may include a portion of the same coverage area, or may include a portion of different coverage areas, as the application is not limited in this regard. In fig. 1, the number of neighbor cells, terminal devices 101 and access network devices 102 is for example only and not limiting of the application.

In the embodiment of the present application, when two identification cards of the terminal device 101 reside in a serving cell respectively and enter an IDLE state (IDLE), one or more neighbor points to be measured may be determined by acquiring first neighbor measurement information and second neighbor measurement information, so as to determine whether to perform cell reselection according to a neighbor point corresponding to the first identification card included in the first neighbor measurement information and a neighbor point corresponding to the second identification card included in the second neighbor measurement information, and call the measurement card to perform neighbor measurement on the one or more neighbor points to be measured.

The terminal device 101 is an entity on the user side for receiving or transmitting signals, such as a mobile phone. The terminal device may also be referred to as a terminal (terminal), a User Equipment (UE), a Mobile Station (MS), a Mobile Terminal (MT), etc. The terminal device may be a mobile phone, a wearable device, a tablet (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiving function, 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 (eMTC) and/or long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) supporting general 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.

The access network device 102 is an entity on the network side for transmitting or receiving signals. For example, the network device may be an evolved NodeB (eNB), a transmission point (transmission reception point, TRP), a next generation NodeB (gNB) in an NR system, a base station in other future mobile communication systems, or an access node in a wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wiFi) system, etc. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific technology and the specific equipment form adopted by the network 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: long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system, fifth generation (5th generation,5G) mobile communication system, 5G New Radio (NR) system. 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.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the application. The measurement method may be implemented by the above-mentioned terminal device, or may be implemented by a chip in the above-mentioned terminal device. As shown in fig. 2, the measurement method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S201 to S203.

Step S201, the terminal device obtains first neighboring cell measurement information and second neighboring cell measurement information from the system message, where the first neighboring cell measurement information includes neighboring frequency points corresponding to the first identity identification card, and the second neighboring cell measurement information includes neighboring frequency points corresponding to the second identity identification card.

For the dual-card terminal equipment, when neighbor cell measurement is performed, neighbor cell measurement information (such as the first neighbor cell measurement information and the second neighbor cell measurement information) corresponding to each identity identification card can be respectively obtained, so that one or more neighbor frequency points to be measured of the multi-card terminal equipment are determined according to one or more neighbor frequency points included in the two neighbor cell measurement information.

The first neighbor cell measurement information may be neighbor cell measurement information corresponding to a first identity identification card, where the first neighbor cell measurement information may include neighbor frequency points corresponding to the first identity identification card, measurement periods corresponding to each neighbor frequency point, and the like. The second neighbor cell measurement information may be neighbor cell measurement information corresponding to a second identity card, where the second neighbor cell measurement information may include neighbor frequency points corresponding to the second identity card, measurement periods corresponding to each neighbor frequency point, and the like.

Step S202, the terminal equipment determines one or more adjacent frequency points to be detected according to the first adjacent cell measurement information and the second adjacent cell measurement information.

The terminal device may have repeated adjacent frequency points to be measured (which may also be referred to as the same adjacent frequency point to be measured) or non-repeated adjacent frequency points to be measured (which may also be referred to as different adjacent frequency points to be measured) in the one or more adjacent frequency points to be measured corresponding to the first identity identification card obtained by the first adjacent cell measurement information and the one or more adjacent frequency points to be measured corresponding to the second identity identification card obtained by the second adjacent cell measurement information.

Optionally, the determined one or more neighbor points to be measured may exist in a table, and the following details are given by taking the case that the one or more neighbor points to be measured exist in the neighbor point list to be measured as an example, which does not limit the present application. Alternatively, the one or more neighbor to be measured may exist in a set, which is not limited by the present application.

Optionally, as shown in table 1 below, the list of neighbor points to be measured may include: parameters such as adjacent frequency points to be measured, a card 1 measurement period (namely, a measurement period corresponding to each adjacent frequency point in the first identity identification card) and a card 2 measurement period (namely, a measurement period corresponding to each adjacent frequency point in the second identity identification card). It should be noted that the parameters included in table 1 are only examples, and do not limit the present application.

Hereinafter, two types of neighboring frequency points, namely, the above-mentioned repeated neighboring frequency point to be measured (such as the first neighboring frequency point to be measured mentioned below) and the above-mentioned non-repeated neighboring frequency point to be measured (such as the second neighboring frequency point to be measured mentioned below) will be described in detail.

Processing for repeated adjacent frequency points to be detected (such as a first adjacent frequency point to be detected):

the first adjacent frequency point to be detected is included in the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identity identification card and is included in the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identity identification card.

Case one: two identity identification cards reside in the same service cell

When two identity identification cards reside in the same service cell, the system information configuration and the surrounding environment of the terminal equipment are the same; therefore, the first adjacent cell measurement information and the second adjacent cell measurement information corresponding to the two identity identification cards can be the same, and adjacent frequency points included in the first adjacent cell measurement information and the second adjacent cell measurement information can be the same.

As shown in fig. 3, the solid line indicates the frequency range where the adjacent frequency point is located, where the frequency range included in the bracket above the solid line may indicate the frequency range where the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identification card is located, and the frequency range included in the bracket below the solid line may indicate the frequency range where the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identification card is located. As can be seen from fig. 3, the frequency range of the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identification card is identical to the frequency range of the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identification card.

In the above case, since the system messages acquired by the terminal device may be the same, the first neighbor cell measurement information and the second neighbor cell measurement information acquired by the terminal device from the system messages may be the same. Optionally, the measurement period of each to-be-measured neighboring frequency point included in the first neighboring cell measurement information may be the same as the measurement period of each to-be-measured neighboring frequency point included in the second neighboring cell measurement information.

It should be noted that, since the first neighbor cell measurement information and the second neighbor cell measurement information acquired by the terminal device from the system message may be the same. Therefore, when the terminal device determines one or more neighbor points to be measured according to the first neighbor measurement information and the second neighbor measurement information, the terminal device may determine the one or more neighbor points to be measured according to any one of the first neighbor measurement information and the second neighbor measurement information. For example: the terminal equipment can determine one or more adjacent frequency points to be detected according to the first adjacent cell measurement information; or the terminal device may determine the one or more to-be-detected neighboring frequency points according to the second neighboring cell measurement information, which is not limited in the present application.

Optionally, in the above case, the terminal device may include two identical columns of data in the configured list of to-be-detected neighbor frequency points according to the first neighbor cell measurement information and the second neighbor cell measurement information. After the neighbor frequency point list to be measured is constructed, the terminal device can call the measurement card to perform neighbor cell measurement on each neighbor frequency point to be measured according to the measurement period in the neighbor frequency point list to be measured.

It can be understood that, in the case that the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identity identification card and the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identity identification card are completely repeated, the first identity identification card or the second identity identification card can apply a measurement sharing optimization scheme, that is, the card (non-measurement card) which does not perform the adjacent cell measurement can completely share the measurement result of the measurement card, so that the power consumption of the terminal device can be effectively reduced under the condition that the measurement of the one or more adjacent frequency points to be measured is ensured.

And a second case: two identity identification cards reside in different service cells

When two identification cards reside in different service cells, the system information of the two identification cards can also configure the same adjacent frequency point to be detected for the terminal equipment because the surrounding environments of the terminal equipment are the same. At this time, the first neighbor cell measurement information and the second neighbor cell measurement information of the terminal device may include one or more same neighbor frequency points.

As shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5, the frequency range where the adjacent frequency point is located is indicated by a solid line, where the frequency range included in the bracket above the solid line may indicate the frequency range where the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identity card is located, and the frequency range included in the bracket below the solid line may indicate the frequency range where the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identity card is located. As can be seen from fig. 4 and fig. 5, the frequency range of the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identification card is partially the same as the frequency range of the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identification card. Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identification card in fig. 5 is located may be included in the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identification card is located.

In one implementation, the terminal device determines a measurement period of the first neighbor to be measured according to the first measurement period and the second measurement period. The first measurement period may be a measurement period of the first neighboring frequency point to be measured by the first identity identification card, and the second measurement period may be a measurement period of the first neighboring frequency point to be measured by the second identity identification card.

The measurement period of the neighboring frequency point is an integer multiple of the discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX) period. Among them, there may be 4 cycle configurations for DRX cycles under long term evolution technology (Long Term Evolution, LTE): 320ms,640ms,1280ms,2560ms. From the four cycle configuration, it can be seen that 320ms is the shortest DRX cycle, and the lengths of the other DRX cycles are all integer multiples of 320 ms. The measurement period of the neighbor on the protocol may be based on DRX counts, for example: the first measurement period may be 5 DRX cycles, the second measurement period may be 3 DRX cycles, etc. Alternatively, different identification cards may be configured with different DRX cycle lengths (i.e., any of the cycle configurations described in 4 above), for example: the DRX cycle length of the first identification card may be configured to 1280ms, the DRX cycle length of the second identification card may be configured to 640ms, etc.

In the embodiment of the application, the first measurement period and the second measurement period can be counted based on the shortest DRX period (namely 320 ms). That is, in constructing the neighbor list to be measured, the record of the card 1 measurement period item and the card 2 measurement period item may be based on the above 320ms count (i.e., the value obtained by dividing the measurement period by 320 ms). For example: if the first measurement period is 5 DRX periods, and the DRX period length of the first identity identification card is configured to 1280ms, that is, the first measurement period may be 1280ms×5, the terminal device may record the card 1 measurement period entry in the neighbor list to be measured as 20, so as to indicate that the measurement period of the neighbor to be measured in the first identity identification card is 20 shortest DRX periods. If the second measurement period is 3 DRX periods, and the DRX period length of the second identification card is configured to 640ms, that is, the second measurement period may be 640ms×3, then the terminal device may record the card 2 measurement period entry in the neighbor list to be measured as 6, so as to indicate that the measurement period of the to-be-measured frequency point in the second identification card is 6 shortest DRX periods.

Optionally, the terminal device may record the measurement period of each neighboring frequency point to be measured according to the above manner (i.e. based on the shortest DRX cycle (i.e. 320 ms) count), so as to construct the above neighboring frequency point list to be measured, so that the measurement period of a certain neighboring frequency point to be measured in the first identity identification card and the measurement period of the neighboring frequency point in the second identity identification card may be unified on a unit, and further, the first measurement period and the second measurement period after the unit is unified may be obtained through the above neighboring frequency point list to be measured, so as to quickly determine whether an integer multiple relationship exists between the first measurement period and the second measurement period.

Optionally, for the identical adjacent frequency points to be measured, when the terminal device records the identical adjacent frequency points to be measured, the measurement period of each adjacent frequency point to be measured can be recorded based on the shortest DRX period. Optionally, for the completely different to-be-measured adjacent frequency points (i.e. the second to-be-measured adjacent frequency point) mentioned below, when the terminal device records the completely different to-be-measured adjacent frequency points, the measurement period of each to-be-measured adjacent frequency point can also be recorded based on the shortest DRX cycle. Optionally, when the terminal device constructs the to-be-measured neighbor frequency point list, the measurement period of each to-be-measured neighbor frequency point may be recorded based on other DRX periods (e.g., 640 ms), which is not limited in the present application.

Under the condition that two identity identification cards reside in different service cells, the system information of the first identity identification card is the measurement period configured by the first adjacent frequency point to be detected, and the measurement period configured by the system information of the second identity identification card for the first adjacent frequency point to be detected can be the same or different. That is, the first measurement period of the first neighboring frequency point to be measured in the first identity identification card may be the same as or different from the second measurement period of the first neighboring frequency point to be measured in the second identity identification card. Hereinafter, the first measurement period and the second measurement period are described in detail in terms of an integer multiple relationship, or the first measurement period and the second measurement period are not described in terms of an integer multiple relationship.

Case 1: and if the first measurement period and the second measurement period have an integer multiple relationship, taking a period with shorter duration in the first measurement period and the second measurement period as the measurement period of the first adjacent frequency point to be measured. Optionally, the terminal device may call the measurement card, and perform neighbor cell measurement on the first neighbor frequency point to be measured according to a period in which the duration of the first measurement period and the second measurement period is shorter.

For example, if the measurement period of the card 1 of the first neighbor to be measured in the neighbor list to be measured is an integer multiple of the measurement period of the card 2, the terminal device may perform neighbor measurement on the first neighbor to be measured according to the second measurement period and call the measurement card; if the measurement period of the card 2 of the first neighbor frequency point to be measured in the neighbor frequency point list to be measured is an integer multiple of the measurement period of the card 1, the terminal device can measure the neighbor frequency of the first neighbor frequency point to be measured according to the first measurement period and call the measurement card. Optionally, if the card 1 measurement period of the first neighbor to be measured in the neighbor list is equal to the card 2 measurement period (i.e. the card 1 measurement period is 1 time of the card 2 measurement period, or the card 2 measurement period is 1 time of the card 1 measurement period), the terminal device may perform neighbor measurement on the first neighbor to be measured according to the first measurement period, or according to the second measurement period, and call the measurement card.

For example: for the first neighbor frequency point to be measured, if the card 1 measurement period is 20 and the card 2 measurement period is 5 in the neighbor frequency point list to be measured, the terminal equipment can measure the neighbor frequency of the first neighbor frequency point to be measured according to the second measurement period (namely, the period duration corresponding to the card 2 measurement period item) and call the measurement card; if the measurement period of the card 1 in the neighbor point list to be measured is 6 and the measurement period of the card 2 is 30, the terminal equipment can measure the neighbor of the first neighbor point to be measured according to the first measurement period (namely, the period duration corresponding to the measurement period item of the card 1) and call the measurement card; if the measurement period of the card 1 in the neighbor frequency point list to be measured is 6 and the measurement period of the card 2 is 6, the terminal device can measure the neighbor frequency point to be measured according to the first measurement period or the second measurement period and call the measurement card.

As can be seen from the above, for repeated adjacent frequency points, when the first measurement period and the second measurement period have an integer multiple relationship, the first identity identification card and the second identity identification card can apply a measurement sharing optimization scheme to reduce the measurement frequency of one of the identity identification cards, thereby reducing the measurement frequency of the terminal device and achieving the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

Case 2: and if the first measurement period and the second measurement period have no integer multiple relation, taking the first measurement period and the second measurement period as measurement periods of the first adjacent frequency point to be measured. Optionally, the terminal device may call the measurement card, and perform two neighbor cell measurements on the first neighbor frequency point to be measured according to the first measurement period and the second measurement period respectively.

For example: for the first neighbor to be measured, if the card 1 measurement period is 6 and the card 2 measurement period is 7 in the neighbor to be measured list, namely the card 1 measurement period of the first neighbor to be measured in the neighbor to be measured list is not equal to the card 2 measurement period, and no integer multiple relation exists between the card 1 measurement period and the card 2 measurement period; the terminal equipment calls the measurement card to perform neighbor cell measurement on the first neighbor frequency point to be measured according to the first measurement period and the second measurement period.

Aiming at the non-repeated processing of the adjacent frequency point to be detected (such as the second adjacent frequency point to be detected):

the second adjacent frequency point to be detected is included in the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identity identification card, or the second adjacent frequency point to be detected is included in the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identity identification card.

It should be noted that, in the case that the two identification cards reside in different service cells, the terminal device may obtain different system messages, and may obtain the first neighbor measurement information and the second neighbor measurement information according to the different system messages, respectively. The first neighbor cell measurement information and the second neighbor cell measurement information may include a plurality of completely different neighbor frequency points to be measured, or may include a plurality of partially different neighbor frequency points to be measured. The following describes the possible range corresponding to the second neighbor to be measured in detail with 3 legends.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 6, a solid line indicates a frequency range where an adjacent frequency point is located, where a frequency range included in a bracket above the solid line may indicate a frequency range where an adjacent frequency point corresponding to a first identification card is located, and a frequency range included in a bracket below the solid line may indicate a frequency range where an adjacent frequency point corresponding to a second identification card is located. As can be seen from fig. 6, the frequency range of the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identification card is completely different from the frequency range of the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identification card.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 4, the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identification card is located may include a frequency range different from the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identification card is located. Optionally, in fig. 4, the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identity card is located may include a frequency range different from the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identity card is located.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identification card is located may include a frequency range different from the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identification card is located. However, the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the second identity card is located does not include a frequency range different from the frequency range in which the adjacent frequency point corresponding to the first identity card is located.

In one implementation manner, if the second adjacent frequency point to be measured is included in the first identity identification card, the first identity identification card measures a measurement period of the second adjacent frequency point to be measured, and the measurement period is used as the measurement period of the second adjacent frequency point to be measured; and if the second adjacent frequency point to be measured is included in the second identity identification card, measuring the measurement period of the second adjacent frequency point to be measured by the second identity identification card, and taking the measurement period of the second adjacent frequency point to be measured as the measurement period of the second adjacent frequency point to be measured.

It should be noted that, for the second to-be-detected neighboring frequency point, the terminal device may determine a measurement period of the second to-be-detected neighboring frequency point according to the identity identification card to which the second to-be-detected neighboring frequency point belongs. Optionally, for the second to-be-detected adjacent frequency point, when constructing the to-be-detected adjacent frequency point list, the terminal device may measure a measurement period of the second to-be-detected adjacent frequency point by using an identification card to which the second to-be-detected adjacent frequency point belongs, and record the measurement period in the to-be-detected adjacent frequency point list.

For example: if the second to-be-measured adjacent frequency point is included in the first identity identification card and the measurement period of the first identity identification card for measuring the second to-be-measured adjacent frequency point is 8, the terminal device can determine the measurement period of the second to-be-measured adjacent frequency point as 8 and record 8 in the card 1 measurement period item of the to-be-measured adjacent frequency point list. Alternatively, in the above case, the card 2 measurement period item in the neighbor list to be measured may be empty, which is not limited by the present application.

It should be noted that, the terminal device may dynamically adjust the neighbor list to be measured. For example, if the measurement information of any one of the two identification cards is changed, the terminal device may update the to-be-detected neighbor list. For example: the adjacent frequency point to be measured of the first identity identification card is increased or decreased, or the measurement period of the first identity identification card for the adjacent frequency point to be measured is changed, and the like. Optionally, if any one of the two cards leaves the idle state, for example: the identity card performs cell reselection, or enters a connection state, or is powered off, etc., and the terminal equipment can update the neighbor list to be detected.

As shown in fig. 2, step S203, the terminal device invokes the measurement card to perform neighbor measurement on the one or more to-be-measured neighbor points; the measuring card is the first identity identification card or the second identity identification card.

It should be noted that, after the terminal device determines the one or more to-be-detected neighboring frequency points, that is, after the to-be-detected neighboring frequency point list is constructed, the measurement card may be invoked to perform neighboring cell measurement on each to-be-detected neighboring frequency point according to a measurement period of each to-be-detected neighboring frequency point in the to-be-detected neighboring frequency point list.

In one implementation, if the current time is the measurement time of the first identity card, judging whether the measurement card is in a valid state; and if the measuring card is in an invalid state, setting the first identity identification card as the measuring card.

It should be noted that, when any one of the identification cards of the terminal device reaches the measurement period, the identification card may determine whether the measurement card is in an effective state at the current moment. If the measuring card is in an invalid state at the current moment, the terminal equipment can set the identity card reaching the measuring period as the measuring card; it can be understood that other identification cards can directly share the measurement result of the measurement card without performing neighbor cell measurement. If the measuring card is in an effective state at the current moment, which indicates that the measuring card is measuring or will be measuring at the current moment, the identity recognition card reaching the measuring period at the moment can judge whether the identity recognition card is the measuring card or not; if the identity card reaching the measurement period is the measurement card, the identity card reaching the measurement period carries out neighbor cell measurement, and other identity cards directly share the measurement result of the measurement card; if the identity card reaching the measurement period is not the measurement card, the neighbor cell measurement is carried out by other identity cards, and the identity card reaching the measurement period does not carry out the neighbor cell measurement and directly shares the measurement result of the measurement card.

For example, assuming that a first identity card in the dual card terminal device reaches a measurement period, the first identity card may determine whether the measurement card is in a valid state at the current time. If the measurement card is in an invalid state at the current moment, the terminal equipment can set the first identity identification card as the measurement card and conduct neighbor cell measurement; at this time, the second identification card may directly share the measurement result of the measurement card without performing neighbor cell measurement. If the measurement card is in an effective state at the current moment, which indicates that the measurement card is measuring or will be measuring at the current moment, the first identity identification card can judge whether the first identity identification card is the measurement card or not; if the first identity identification card is a measuring card, the first identity identification card can be used for carrying out neighbor cell measurement, and the second identity identification card can directly share the measuring result of the first identity identification card; if the first identity card is not the measurement card, the second identity card is the measurement card at the current moment, the second identity card can be used for carrying out neighbor cell measurement, and the first identity card can directly share the measurement result of the second identity card.

Optionally, the terminal device may obtain measurement periods of one or more adjacent frequency points corresponding to the two identification cards from adjacent cell measurement information corresponding to the two identification cards, so as to determine whether the measurement periods of the two identification cards are reached according to the measurement periods of the one or more adjacent frequency points. For example, if the terminal device obtains the measurement period of one or more neighboring frequency points corresponding to the first identity identification card from the first neighboring cell measurement information, the terminal device may determine whether to reach the measurement period of the first identity identification card according to the measurement period of the one or more neighboring frequency points. For example, assuming that the first identity identification card corresponds to three neighboring frequency points, the terminal device may acquire measurement periods of the three neighboring frequency points from the first neighboring cell measurement information; if the measurement period of the adjacent frequency point 2 in the three adjacent frequency points is reached, the measurement period reaching the first identity identification can be determined; at this time, the first identity card may perform the above-described process of judging whether the measurement card is in a valid state at the present time.

It can be understood that when the measurement period of each adjacent frequency point in the two identity identification cards arrives, the arrival of the measurement period of the identity identification card corresponding to the adjacent frequency point can be determined, so that when the measurement period of one adjacent frequency point arrives, the process of judging whether the measurement card is in an effective state at the current moment can be executed, and further, the corresponding measurement result of each adjacent frequency point in the two identity identification cards is ensured. For example, if the first identity card corresponds to three adjacent frequency points, when the measurement period of each of the three adjacent frequency points is reached, the measurement period of the first identity card may be determined to be reached, so that the first identity card performs the above process of determining whether the measurement card is in a valid state at the current time.

For example, assuming that the measurement period of the neighboring frequency point 2 in the first identity card is reached, it may be determined that the measurement period of the first identity card is reached; if the measurement card at the current moment is in an effective state and the second identity card is the measurement card at the current moment, the second identity card performs the neighbor measurement of the neighbor point 2 according to the measurement period in the neighbor point list to be measured, and the first identity card directly shares the measurement result of the second identity card. After the neighbor cell measurement is performed on the neighbor frequency point 2 in the first identity identification card, if the measurement card is updated to be in an invalid state and the measurement period of the neighbor frequency point 3 in the first identity identification card is reached, the measurement period reaching the first identity identification card can be determined; at this time, since the measurement card is in an invalid state at the current moment, the terminal device may set the first identity identification card as the measurement card, and make the first identity identification card execute the neighbor cell measurement of the neighbor frequency point 3 according to the measurement period in the neighbor frequency point list to be measured.

Optionally, the terminal device may determine the status of the measurement card by setting a measurement card identifier. If the measuring card mark is an effective value, the measuring card is in an effective state at the current moment; and if the measurement card is marked as an invalid value, the measurement card is in an invalid state at the current moment. Wherein the measurement card identification may be set to an invalid value when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:

1. the two identity identification cards do not enter an idle state;

2. the corresponding measurement information of the measurement card is changed;

3. the measurement card triggers cell reselection;

4. the measuring card is shut down;

5. the measurement card enters a connected state.

Alternatively, the measurement card may also perform cell measurements of two identification cards. The measurement of the serving cell is performed once every DRX cycle, that is, the measurement cycle of two identification card serving cells is one DRX cycle. For the measurement of the serving cell, the measurement can be carried out normally on the measurement card according to the measurement period of the serving cell without being influenced by the measurement sharing optimization scheme.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment can determine one or more adjacent frequency points to be measured from the adjacent frequency points corresponding to the first identity identification card contained in the first adjacent cell measurement information and the adjacent frequency points corresponding to the second identity identification card contained in the second adjacent cell measurement information by acquiring the first adjacent cell measurement information and the second adjacent cell measurement information, so that the adjacent frequency points to be measured which are shared by two identity identification cards and have integer multiple relation in measurement period adopt a measurement sharing preferred scheme, the measurement of the adjacent frequency points adopting the measurement sharing preferred scheme is reduced, and the adjacent frequency points to be measured are measured by calling the measurement card, so that the measurement card executes a measurement task, and other identity identification cards share a measurement result, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal equipment in the measurement process.

The card X may be the card 1, or the card X may be the card 2. It will be appreciated that if card X is card 1, then card Y is card 2; if card X is card 2, then card Y is card 1.

S704: and judging whether the measuring card is in a valid state. If the measurement card is in a valid state, executing S705; if the measurement card is in an invalid state, S708 is executed.

S705: it is determined whether the card X is a measurement card. If the card X is a measurement card, then S706 is executed; if the card X is not a measurement card, S707 is performed.

S706: the card X performs the measurement.

S707: card X shares the measurement result of card Y.

S708: the card X performs measurement, and sets the measurement card as the card X.

It should be noted that, for each step in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 7, reference may be made to the foregoing detailed description of the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, and the disclosure is not repeated here.

In the embodiment of the application, when two cards enter an idle state, the neighbor cell measurement information of the two cards is acquired, the neighbor cell list to be measured can be constructed, and when one of the two cards reaches a measurement period, whether the measurement card is in an effective state is judged, so that the measurement card is set as the measurement card and measurement is executed when the measurement card is in an ineffective state, and the other card can directly share the measurement result, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal equipment.
