Description

Measurement configuration method, device, terminal and network side equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless technologies, and in particular, to a measurement configuration method, an apparatus, a terminal, and a network device.

Background

The pilot frequency measurement distinguishes whether a measurement interval is needed, for example, a target frequency point is in an activated bandwidth of the terminal, and then the terminal can perform pilot frequency measurement without the measurement interval. If the above condition is not satisfied, the terminal needs to perform inter-frequency measurement based on the measurement interval.

During the measurement interval, the terminal does not perform data transceiving with the serving cell. Because the terminal will disconnect from the current serving frequency point within the measurement interval, the terminal will tune to the position of the target Synchronization Signal and Physical Broadcast CHannel (PBCH) block (SSB) for measurement. The measurement interval is configured through Radio Resource Control (RRC), and includes a measurement interval period, a measurement interval length, an offset, and the like.

In a pilot frequency measurement scenario that does not require a measurement interval, scheduling restrictions may also exist, both the measurement interval and the scheduling restrictions may affect data transmission and reception, and if both the measurement interval and the scheduling restrictions exist within a period of time, throughput loss may be increased.

In addition, if a plurality of pilot frequency points which do not need to be measured are available, due to the limited base band resources (terminal processing capacity) of the terminal, pilot frequency measurement which does not need to be measured can compete resources with common frequency measurement, the terminal can only serially complete measurement of all target frequency points (including pilot frequency and common frequency), and if the number of pilot frequency points which do not need to be measured is too large, the common frequency measurement duration can be seriously increased, and the system performance is influenced.

The embodiment of the invention provides a measurement configuration method, which aims to solve the problems caused by different-frequency measurement without measurement intervals in the conventional technology, wherein the measurement intervals and scheduling limitation exist, the throughput loss can be increased, and when a plurality of different-frequency points without measurement intervals exist, the different-frequency measurement without measurement intervals can compete with same-frequency measurement for resources, a terminal can only serially complete the measurement of all target frequency points, and when the number of the different-frequency points without measurement intervals is excessive, the same-frequency measurement duration can be seriously increased, and the system performance is influenced.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a measurement configuration method applied to a terminal, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

s110, receiving information sent by network side equipment, wherein the information is related information of at least one of co-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement.

According to the measurement configuration method, the terminal can perform frequency point measurement according to the information by sending the relevant information for indicating at least one of the terminal common-frequency measurement, the different-frequency measurement and the different-system measurement to the terminal through the network side equipment, so that the problems that the different-frequency measurement without measurement intervals increases the throughput loss and increases the time length of the common-frequency measurement are solved.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

and the terminal carries out frequency point measurement according to the received information.

Optionally, in step S110, the measurement configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, where the received information includes at least one of:

Optionally, the related information includes at least one of the number of frequency points, the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval, and a ratio of the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval;

the first information in the transmitted information indicates the relevant information measured outside the measurement interval, that is, the relevant information indicating that the measurement is performed outside the measurement interval, and the relevant information includes at least one of the frequency point number, the ratio of the frequency point number measured in the measurement interval to the frequency point number not measured in the measurement interval, and the frequency point information.

By adopting the embodiment, the terminal can measure the frequency point according to the information by indicating the relevant information measured in the measurement interval and/or the relevant information measured outside the measurement interval to the terminal, thereby achieving the purposes of improving the throughput rate and reducing the measurement duration.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement within the measurement interval may also be referred to as measurement requiring the measurement interval, or described as measurement with measurement gap; measurements that do not require a measurement interval may also be referred to as not being measured in a measurement interval, or described as a measurement without a measurement gap.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the first information includes at least one of:

indicating the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval in the frequency points which do not need the measurement interval;

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the frequency point includes at least one of an intra-frequency point (intra-frequency), an inter-frequency point (inter-frequency), and an inter-RAT frequency point (inter-RAT frequency). Based on the information including the first information, the terminal performs frequency point measurement according to the information, wherein the frequency point measurement includes at least one of the following:

if the first information comprises a first factor, for the measurement of the N frequency points, the ratio of the number of the frequency points measured in the measurement interval to the number of the frequency points not measured in the measurement interval accords with the first factor, and the terminal autonomously selects the frequency points measured in the measurement interval and the frequency points not measured in the measurement interval;

if the first information comprises the number of the frequency points which are measured in the measurement interval in the frequency points which do not need the measurement interval, the terminal autonomously selects the frequency points which are measured in the measurement interval, and the number of the frequency points of the selected frequency points accords with the first information; for example, if N frequency points of the measurement interval are not needed, N > is 1, the first information includes that the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval is M, and M < > is N, then the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval is M among the N frequency points. Furthermore, the number of frequency points measured outside the measurement interval is N-M, specifically which frequency points are measured in the measurement interval and which frequency points are measured outside the measurement interval, which is realized by the terminal, and can be understood as being autonomously determined by the terminal;

if the first information comprises the maximum value of the number of the frequency points which are measured in the measurement interval in the frequency points which do not need to be measured in the measurement interval, the terminal autonomously selects the frequency points which are measured in the measurement interval, and the number of the frequency points of the selected frequency points does not exceed the maximum value indicated by the first information; for example, if the first information includes that the maximum value of the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval is M and M < ═ N, the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval in the N frequency points cannot exceed M, and the specific number can be autonomously determined by the terminal, for example, M1 and M1< ═ M are not needed. Further, the number of frequency points measured outside the measurement interval is N-M1, specifically which frequency points are measured in the measurement interval and which frequency points are measured outside the measurement interval, which frequency points are realized by the terminal, and can be understood as being autonomously determined by the terminal;

if the first information comprises the number of the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval in the plurality of frequency points which do not need the measurement interval, the terminal autonomously selects the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval, and the number of the frequency points of the selected frequency points accords with the first information; for example, if the first information includes N frequency points, N > 1, which do not require a measurement interval, and the number of frequency points measured outside the measurement interval is P and P < > N, the number of frequency points measured outside the measurement interval among the N frequency points is P. Furthermore, the number of the frequency points measured outside the measurement interval is N-P, specifically which frequency points are measured in the measurement interval, and which frequency points are measured outside the measurement interval are realized by the terminal, and can be understood as being autonomously determined by the terminal;

if the first information comprises the maximum value of the number of the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval in the plurality of frequency points which do not need the measurement interval, the terminal autonomously selects the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval, and the number of the frequency points of the selected frequency points does not exceed the maximum value indicated by the first information; for example, N frequency points of the measurement interval are not needed, N > is 1, the number of frequency points that are not measured in the measurement interval cannot exceed P, and how many the specific number can be determined autonomously by the terminal, for example, may be P1, and P1< ═ P. Further, the number of the frequency points measured in the measurement interval is N-P1, specifically, which frequency points are measured in the measurement interval, and which frequency points are measured outside the measurement interval are implemented by the terminal, which can be understood as being autonomously determined by the terminal.

Specifically, if the first information indicates the ratio of the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval to the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval, the ratio of the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval by the terminal to the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval should meet the first information. Specifically, the frequency points measured in the measurement interval can be selected by the terminal autonomously; the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval can be selected by the terminal independently;

if the first information indicates the number of the frequency points measured in the measurement interval, the number of the frequency points measured in the measurement interval of the terminal is consistent with the indication of the first information. Specifically, the frequency points measured in the measurement interval can be selected by the terminal autonomously;

if the first information indicates the maximum value of the number of the frequency points measured in the measurement interval, the number of the frequency points measured in the measurement interval of the terminal cannot exceed the number of the first information. Specifically, the frequency point measured in the measurement interval may be selected autonomously by the terminal.

If the first information indicates the number of the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval, the number of the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval by the terminal is consistent with the indication of the first information. Specifically, the frequency points which are not measured in the measurement interval can be selected by the terminal independently;

if the first information indicates the maximum value of the frequency point number which is not measured in the measuring interval, the frequency point number which is not measured in the measuring interval by the terminal can not exceed the number of the first information. Specifically, the frequency point not measured in the measurement interval may be selected autonomously by the terminal.

Optionally, the first information may be issued through a broadcast message or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message, that is, the terminal receives the first information through the broadcast message or the RRC message, for example, the network side device may issue the first information in the measurement configuration message.

For example, in the first embodiment, if the number of frequency points that may not require a measurement interval (including the number of frequency points in the terminal active bandwidth by SSB and/or the number of frequency points in the terminal active bandwidth by CSI-RS) is M, and the first information indicates that the ratio of the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval to the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval is Q, when the terminal performs measurement, the measurement of M1 frequency points is completed in the measurement interval, the remaining M2 frequency points are not measured in the measurement interval, and M1/M2 is Q (or M2/M1 is Q). Wherein both M1 and M2 are less than or equal to M.

In the second embodiment, if the number of frequency points that do not require a measurement interval (including the number of frequency points of the SSB in the terminal active bandwidth and/or the number of frequency points of the CSI-RS in the terminal active bandwidth) is M, the first information indicates that the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval is N. When the terminal executes measurement, the terminal can only complete the measurement of N frequency points in the measurement interval, and other frequency points do not perform measurement in the measurement interval. Wherein N is less than or equal to M.

In the third embodiment, if the number of frequency points that do not need to be measured at the measurement interval (including the number of frequency points of the SSB in the terminal active bandwidth and/or the number of frequency points of the CSI-RS in the terminal active bandwidth) is M, the first information indicates that the maximum value of the number of frequency points measured at the measurement interval is N. When the terminal performs measurement, the terminal may complete measurement of N1 frequency points in a measurement interval, where N1< ═ N and other frequency points are not measured in the measurement interval. N is less than or equal to M;

in the fourth embodiment, if the number of frequency points that do not need to be measured (including the number of frequency points of the SSB in the terminal active bandwidth and/or the number of frequency points of the CSI-RS in the terminal active bandwidth) is M, the first information indicates that the number of frequency points that are not measured in the measurement interval is N. When the terminal executes measurement, the measurement of N frequency points is not executed in the measurement interval, and other frequency points are measured in the measurement interval. Wherein N is less than or equal to M.

In the fifth embodiment, if the number of frequency points that do not need to be measured (including the number of frequency points of the SSB in the terminal active bandwidth and/or the number of frequency points of the CSI-RS in the terminal active bandwidth) is M, the first information indicates that the maximum value of the number of frequency points that are not measured in the measurement interval is N. When the terminal performs measurement, the measurement of the N1 frequency points is not performed in the measurement interval, N1< ═ N, and the other frequency points are measured in the measurement interval. Wherein N is less than or equal to M.

By adopting the embodiment, the information sent by the network side equipment is used for indicating how the terminal allocates the different-frequency measurement without the measurement interval in and outside the measurement interval, and/or indicating the frequency point measured by the terminal in the measurement interval and/or the frequency point measured outside the measurement interval, and/or starting the prior measurement and/or the delayed measurement of the target frequency point, so that the terminal can measure the frequency point according to the information, thereby avoiding the situations that the measurement interval exists and the scheduling limitation exists, and the number of the different-frequency points without the measurement interval is large, the different-frequency measurement with different measurement intervals can compete with the same-frequency measurement for resources, the duration of the same-frequency measurement is seriously increased, and the problem of affecting the system performance is solved.

In the measurement configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the first information may include: in N frequency points which do not need to be measured, measuring frequency point information in a measuring interval and/or measuring frequency point information outside the measuring interval; wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

It should be noted that the Frequency point information may include 1 Frequency point, or may include multiple Frequency points, and the Frequency point information may be indicated by an Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN), may also be indicated by a Measurement Object (MO), or may optionally be notified to the terminal by a Frequency point list.

Specifically, the terminal is informed of which frequency points in a plurality of frequency points which do not need measurement intervals to be measured in the measurement intervals by indicating the frequency point information measured in the measurement intervals; and informing the terminal which frequency points are not measured in the measurement interval by indicating the frequency point information measured outside the measurement interval.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the first information may indicate at least one of the first factor, the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval, the maximum value of the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval, the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval, and the maximum value of the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval, and also indicate frequency point information measured in the measurement interval and/or frequency point information measured outside the measurement interval in N frequency points that do not need measurement intervals, that is, frequency point measurement is performed according to combination of the first information.

By adopting the manner of combining the first information, compared with the manner of only indicating at least one of the first factor, the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval, the maximum value of the number of frequency points measured in the measurement interval, the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval, and the maximum value of the number of frequency points not measured in the measurement interval, the frequency point information measured in the measurement interval or the frequency point information measured outside the measurement interval is determined, which is not autonomously determined by the terminal but needs to be determined according to the frequency point information issued by the network side device, and further measurement is performed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the first information may include:

information relating to inter-system measurements not within a measurement interval.

Optionally, the information related to the inter-system measurement not within the measurement interval includes at least one of:

whether inter-system measurement not within a measurement interval with respect to Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (EUTRA) New Radio interface (NR) Dual connectivity (EN-DC) is turned on;

whether inter-system measurements are turned on for NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity NE-DC that are not within a measurement interval;

whether inter-system measurements are turned on for the NR-NR dual link NR-DC that are not within the measurement interval.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the inter-system measurement may be an LTE measurement (for example, an E-UTRA measurement); it can also be called LTE frequency point (e.g. E-UTRA frequency point) measurement, NR measurement or NR frequency point measurement.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the information sent by the network side device further includes second information, which is used to indicate information related to the priority measurement and/or the hysteresis measurement.

Optionally, the second information may indicate to start priority measurement and/or hysteresis measurement on the target frequency point, that is, notify the terminal whether to start priority or hysteresis measurement on some frequency points, and optionally, the second information includes at least one of the following:

frequency point information measured preferentially;

frequency point information of lag measurement;

whether to initiate a priority measurement;

whether hysteresis measurement is turned on.

Alternatively, the second information may be indicated by an ARFCN.

In the measurement configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is considered that, in a plurality of frequency points of which different frequencies do not need measurement intervals, only X frequency points (that is, some frequency points) may cause measurement of scheduling restriction, and the remaining frequency points are measurement that may not cause scheduling restriction. Because the measurement sequence of the terminal on the frequency points is realized based on the UE, the network can only assume that scheduling limitation exists on the measurement of all the frequency points which do not need to be measured. In order to reduce the influence on the system throughput rate, the terminal can be notified through the second information to preferentially or lagged to execute the measurement of the frequency point which does not cause the scheduling limitation.

In the measurement configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, based on at least one of the first information and the second information sent by the network side device, when performing frequency point measurement, the method further includes at least one of the following:

if the frequency points which need to be measured in intervals exist, the measurement of all the different frequencies and/or different system frequency points is executed in the measurement intervals;

if only the frequency points which do not need to be measured for the interval exist, when the number of the frequency points which do not need to be measured for the interval is smaller than and/or equal to a first threshold, the measurement of the frequency points which do not need to be measured for the interval is not executed in the measurement interval;

When the execution part of the frequency points perform measurement in the measurement interval and/or the execution part of the frequency points do not perform measurement in the measurement interval, specifically, the method for allocating the number of the frequency points in the measurement interval and/or outside the measurement interval, and which frequency points are measured in the measurement interval and/or which frequency points are measured outside the measurement interval can be determined according to the method mentioned in the frequency point measurement according to the first information. The specific method used for performing the frequency point measurement may be specified in the protocol in advance, or may be issued by the network side device. Specifically, when the measurement target includes a frequency point that does not need a measurement interval (for example, a frequency point in the terminal active bandwidth for the SSB) and a frequency point that needs a measurement interval, the frequency point that does not need a measurement interval also performs measurement in the measurement interval;

when only the frequency points which do not need to be measured in the measurement target (such as the frequency points of the SSB in the terminal activated bandwidth) exist, the measurement of the frequency points which do not need to be measured is not executed in the measurement interval;

when the frequency points needing to be measured exist in the measurement target, the measurement of all the pilot frequency points is executed in the measurement interval;

when only the frequency points which do not need to measure the interval (such as the frequency points of the SSB in the terminal activated bandwidth) exist in the measurement target, and when the number of the frequency points which do not need to measure the interval is less than or equal to a first threshold, the measurement of the frequency points which do not need to measure the interval is not executed in the measurement interval; when the number of the frequency points that do not need to be measured in the measurement interval exceeds the second threshold, optionally, according to an instruction of the network side device, the terminal may perform measurement on partial frequency points in the measurement interval, and the remaining frequency points are not performed in the measurement interval.

Optionally, the first threshold and the second threshold may be issued by a network side device, or may be predefined in a protocol.

It should be noted that, in the measurement configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first information and the second information in the information sent by the network side device may be used independently or at least two of the first information and the second information may be used together, that is, the terminal may perform frequency point measurement according to a manner indicated by one of the first information and the second information, or may perform frequency point measurement according to a manner indicated by at least two of the first information and the second information.

Further, the network side device may determine the first information and the second information according to a terminal scheduling condition and overall system performance.

By adopting the measurement configuration method of the embodiment of the invention, the information sent by the network side equipment is used for indicating how the terminal distributes the pilot frequency measurement without the measurement interval in and out of the measurement interval, and/or indicating the frequency point measured by the terminal in the measurement interval and/or the frequency point measured outside the measurement interval, and/or starting the prior measurement and/or the lag measurement of the target frequency point, so that the problems of increased throughput rate loss and increased same-frequency measurement duration of the pilot frequency measurement without the measurement interval can be solved.
