图2是本申请的小区测量的方法200的示意性流程图。以下,结合图2说明本申请实施例提供的小区测量的方法。
本申请提供的小区测量的方法可适用于无线通信系统,例如图1中所示的通信系统100。此外,该方法可以由终端设备执行,或者,也可以由配置于终端设备中的芯片执行,例如可以为图1中的终端设备1执行,也可以为配置于所述终端设备1中的芯片执行。
需要说明的是,本申请提供的小区测量的方法除了适用于为终端设备配置多载波这一场景下,同样可以应用于其他场景。例如,为终端设备切换新的服务小区而进行的测量、终端设备为重选到新的服务小区而进行的测量等其他场景。
换句话说,本申请提供的测量方法的测量目标可以是多载波配置信息中的测量目标,也可以是服务小区重选配置信息中的测量目标,或者其他测量目标。即,终端设备对目标小区的测量可以为进行同频测量、异频测量、异系统测量中的至少一种。
本申请实施例中,终端设备和/或网络设备可以执行本申请实施例中的部分或全部步骤,这些步骤或操作仅是示例,本申请实施例还可以执行其它操作或者各种操作的变形。此外,各个步骤可以按照本申请实施例呈现的不同的顺序来执行,并且有可能并非要执行本申请实施例中的全部操作。
如图2所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种测量方法,该方法包括如下步骤:
S201、终端设备对第二小区进行测量,得到第一测量值;
第一测量值可以是针对第二小区的信号质量的测量结果。所述终端设备还可以将所述第二小区的标识信息发送给网络设备。信号质量测量结果可以包括参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、信噪比(Signal Noise Ratio,SNR)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indication,RSSI)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receive quality,RSRQ)等中的任意一种或者多种参数。
可选的,第一测量值还可以是针对至少一个波束的测量结果,所述终端设备还可以将所述至少一个波束的标识信息发送给网络设备。可选的,第二小区的标识信息可以是信号质量满足第一预设条件的小区的标识信息,上述至少一个波束的标识信息可以是波束信号质量满足第二预设条件的波束的标识信息,也可以是属于该小区的全部波束的标识信息。所述第一预设条件和第二预设条件,可以是网络设备配置的,也可以是预先定义的,本申请实施例对此不做限定。本申请实施例中的第一测量值也可以称为信号质量测量报告或者信号质量测量结果等其他名称。
可选的,终端设备对第二小区进行测量包括对第二小区进行如下测量类型的至少一种: 终端设备对至少一个第一频点进行测量、终端设备对至少一个异系统进行测量、终端设备对至少一个第一频点下的至少一个第二小区进行测量、终端设备对至少一个异系统下的至少一个第二小区进行测量。第一频点可以和终端设备当前服务小区(即第一小区,此终端设备处于该第一小区,即第一小区是终端设备的当前服务小区,终端设备驻留和/或接入第一小区)所属的频点相同(同频),也可以不同(异频)。第一测量值可以包括上述至少一种测量类型对应的第二小区的信号质量测量结果。具体的,终端设备可以对至少一个第一频点进行测量,获取该至少一个第一频点下的至少一个第二小区的第一测量值;或者,终端设备可以对至少一个异系统进行测量,获取该至少一个异系统下的至少一个第二小区的第一测量值;或者,终端设备对至少一个第一频点下的至少一个第二小区进行测量,获取该至少一个第二小区的第一测量值;或者,终端设备对至少一个异系统下的至少一个第二小区进行测量,获取该至少一个第二小区的第一测量值。
S202、终端设备根据第一测量值,确定是否停止对第二小区的测量,或者,确定是否增大对第二小区的测量之间的时间间隔。。
可选的,两次测量之间的时间间隔,也可以称为测量周期。
终端设备确定是否停止对第二小区的测量可以是确定是否停止对S201中对应的测量类型的测量。比如,若S201中执行的测量是至少一个第一频点进行测量,即测量是频点级的,则终端设备确定是否停止对该第一频点的测量;或者,终端设备确定是否增大对第二小区的测量周期可以是终端设备确定是否增大对S201中的测量类型的测量周期。比如,若S201中执行的测量是至少一个第一频点进行测量,即测量是频点级的,则终端设备确定是否增大对该第一频点的测量周期。
作为一种实现方式,终端设备根据第一测量值,确定是否停止对第二小区的测量,可以是终端设备根据第一测量值和第一阈值门限,确定是否停止对第二小区的测量。具体地,若第一测量值小于或者等于第一阈值门限,终端设备停止对第二小区的测量。作为一种实现方式,终端设备启动定时器,在定时器运行时间内,终端设备停止对第二小区的测量。若第一测量值大于第一阈值门限,终端设备不停止对第二小区的测量。
作为一种实现方式,终端设备根据第一测量值,确定是否增大对第二小区的测量周期,可以是终端设备根据第一测量值和第二阈值门限,确定是否增大对第二小区的测量周期。具体地,终端设备可以根据第一测量值和参考测量值的质量差值和第二阈值门限,确定是否增大对第二小区的测量周期。具体地,若上述质量差值小于或等于第二阈值门限,终端设备确定增大对第二小区的测量周期;若该质量差值大于第二阈值门限,终端设备不增大对第二小区的测量周期。其中,第一测量值可以是终端设备测量到的第二小区的最新的测量值,参考测量值可以是终端设备上一次测量到的第二小区的测量值,或者是根据终端设备前M次测量到的第二小区的测量值确定的。比如,参考测量值可以是前M次测量到的第二小区的测量值的线性平均值,或者是根据前M次测量到的第二小区的测量值和对应的加权系数确定的测量值。在一个具体的实施例,若当前终端设备配置的测量周期是10ms,测量类型是对至少一个第二频点下的至少一个第二小区进行测量,即终端设备每隔10ms对第二小区进行测量。若终端设备根据第一测量值,确定增大对第二小区的测量周期,终端设备可以每隔20ms或者其它N*10ms对第二小区进行测量。其中,N可以是大于或者等于2的整数。
其中,定时器时长、第一阈值门限、第二阈值门限、M、加权系数中的任意一个或者多个可以是网络设备配置的,也可以是预先定义的,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
可选地,S203、终端设备对第一小区进行测量,得到第二测量值。
第一小区为终端设备的当前服务小区。作为一种实现方式,终端设备对第一小区进行周期性测量,并得到对应的第二测量值。本发明实施例中的术语“第一”、“第二”仅是用于区别类似的对象(比如测量值),因此对于第二测量值的描述可以参考S201中关于第一测量值的描述。
可选地,S204、终端设备根据第二测量值,确定是否停止对所述第二小区的测量,或者,是否增大对第二小区的测量之间的时间间隔。。
可选的,两次测量之间的时间间隔,也可以称为测量周期。作为一种实现方式,若S202中终端设备确定停止对第二小区的测量,终端启动定时器,在定时器运行时间内,终端设备可以根据第二测量值进一步确定是否停止定时器。即终端设备可以根据第二测量值进一步确定是否启动对第二小区的测量。具体地,若第二测量值低于第三阈值门限,终端设备停止定时器,启动对第二小区的测量;或者,若第二测量值高于第三阈值门限,定时器继续运行,终端设备停止对第二小区的测量;
作为另一种实现方式,若S202中终端设备确定增大对第二小区的测量周期,在增大的测量周期到期前,终端设备可以根据第二测量值确定是否恢复第二小区的测量周期。具体地,若第二测量值低于第三阈值门限,终端设备恢复第二小区的测量周期。或者,若第二测量值高于第三阈值门限,终端设备保持增大对第二小区的测量周期。
其中,第三阈值门限可以是网络设备配置的,也可以是预先定义的,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
可选地,作为另一种实现方式,在步骤S202之前,终端设备可以执行S203和S204;或者,在步骤S202之前,终端设备同时执行步骤S201、S203和S204。具体地,终端设备根据第一测量值和第二测量值,确定是否停止对第二小区的测量,或者,是否增大对第二小区的测量周期。比如当第一测量值低于第一阈值门限,且第二测量值高于第三阈值门限,终端设备可以停止对第二小区的测量;或者,当第一测量值低于第二阈值门限,且第二测量值高于第三阈值门限,终端设备可以增大对第二小区的测量周期。
本实施例中的各实现方式可以单独执行,也可以结合执行。作为一种结合执行的方式,终端设备可以首先根据第一测量值和第二测量值,确定是否停止对所述第二小区的测量,或者,是否增大对第二小区的测量周期;若终端设备确定停止对第二小区的测量,终端启动定时器,在定时器运行时间内,终端设备可以根据对第一小区的最新的测量值进一步确定是否停止定时器。或者,若终端设备确定增大对第二小区的测量周期,在增大的测量周期到期前,终端设备可以根据对第一小区的最新的测量值确定是否恢复第二小区的测量周期。

其中,该终端设备#A处于小区#A,即该终端设备#A处于小区#A覆盖的范围内,或者说,该终端设备#A驻留在小区#A(例如,第一小区),或者说,该小区#A是该终端设备#A的服务小区,或者说,该终端设备#A通过小区#A提供的无线资源进行无线通信。
该小区#B可以为该终端设备#A的非驻留小区,或者说,该小区#B和小区#A为不同的小区,例如,该小区#B可以为小区#A的邻小区。
此外,该小区#B也可以为该终端设备#A的驻留小区,即,该小区#B可以和小区#A为同一个小区。
如图3所示,该终端设备#A可以对小区#B进行测量。
该终端设备#A根据接收到的测量对象对小区#B进行测量,测量对象可以是小区#B,也可以是小区#B所在的频点#B。或者,该终端设备#A对小区#B进行测量可以是该终端设备#A对频点#B进行测量,进一步地,测量到该频点#B下的小区#B,其中频点#B为小区#B所在的频点。
作为示例而非限定,该测量可以是周期性进行地,其中,该测量的周期(例如,周期的起始时刻或者周期的长度)可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
需要说明的是,在本申请中,该终端设备#A可以对小区#B进行测量的时机可以由终端设备#A任意确定;或者,该终端设备#A在对小区#B进行测量前,无需判定小区#A的质量是否满足预设条件。比如该预设条件可以是“当小区#A的质量低于或等于某一个门限,该终端设备#A启动对接收到的测量对象的测量”。若存在预设条件,该终端设备#A忽略该预设条件。即该终端设备#A接收到的测量对象中包括小区#B或小区#B所在频点#B时,该终端设备#A可以直接启动对小区#B或频点#B的测量。
或者,该终端设备#A对小区#B进行测量的时机也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
并且,终端设备#A可以基于获得的测量结果,对针对小区#B的测量进行控制。
例如,终端设备#A可以基于在时段#A获得的测量结果,对针对小区#B的测量进行控制。
其中,该时段#A的起始时刻可以由终端设备#A任意确定。
例如,该时段#A的起始时刻可以是终端设备#A开始对小区#B进行测量的起始时刻。
再例如,该时段#A的起始时刻可以是任意一个测量周期的起始时刻。
或者,该时段#A的起始时刻也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
并且,该时段#A的时长可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
例如,该时段#A可以包括M个测量周期。
其中,该M可以为大于或等于1的整数。
例如,该M的值也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
需要说明的是,当M大于1时,上述测量结果#A可以为多个,例如,M个,即,该M个测量周期与M个测量结果#A一一对应,每个测量结果是在所对应的测量周期获得的测量结果。
另外,该M个测量周期可以是连续的,也可由是非连续的,本申请并未特别限定。
作为示例而非限定,终端设备#A对小区#B的测量可以是指:对来自小区#B(具体地说,是提供小区#B的接入设备发送)的信号(例如,参考信号)进行的测量。
例如,该测量结果可以包括小区B的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、信噪比(Signal Noise Ratio,SNR)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indication,RSSI)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receive quality,RSRQ)等中的任意一种或者多种参数。
具体地说,作为示例,终端设备#A基于获得的M个测量结果#A,对针对小区#B的测量进行控制,可以包括如下两种方式中的至少一种:
方式1,终端设备#A可以基于该M个测量结果#A判定是否停止对小区#B的测量。
方式2,终端设备#A可以基于该M个测量结果#A判定是否增大相邻两次对小区#B的测量之间的时间间隔(或者说,判定是否延长测量周期)。
下面针对上述两种不同的控制方式分别进行阐述。
方式1
终端设备#A可以基于该M个测量结果#A(例如,第一测量值)判定是否停止对小区#B的测量。
具体地,终端设备#A可以基于该M个测量结果#A进行预设的判定(记做判定#A),并根据判定#A的结果,确定是否停止对小区#B的测量。
例如,当M=1时,该判定#A可以包括:
该测量结果#A是否小于或等于预设的阈值#A1(例如,第一阈值)。
其中,该阈值#A1可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
如果判定结果为是,则可以停止对小区#B的测量。
如果判定结果为否,则可以继续对小区#B的测量,例如,可以维持当前的测量状态不变。
再例如,当M>1时,该判定#A可以包括:
判定#A1:测量结果#A1是否小于或等于预设的阈值#A2(例如,第一阈值);和/或,
判定#A2:两个测量结果的之间的差值是否小于或等于预设的阈值#A3。
具体地,能够根据该差值确定测量结果的变化速度以及信号是在变好还是变差。例如,信号在变差,或者信号在变好但是却变化速度很慢,则可以停止测量。因此,该判定#A2可以进一步限定为:按照测量的先后顺序,在后的一个测量结果#A2与在先的一个测量结果#A3的差值是否小于或等于预设的阈值#A3(例如,第二阈值)。
判定#A1和判定#A2可以单独进行判定,也可以结合进行判定。
其中,测量结果#A1、测量结果#A2、测量结果#A3可以是根据M个测量结果#A中的至少一个确定的。
可选地,测量结果#A2和测量结果#A3仅表示测量到的多次结果。测量结果#A2或者#A3可以等于测量结果#A1。
其中,该阈值#A2可以等于或者不等于前述的阈值#A1。
例如,该阈值#A2、阈值#A3可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
阈值#A2和阈值#A3可以相同,也可以不同。作为示例,该阈值#A2可以为质量门限值,阈值#A3可以为质量差门限值。
其中,测量结果#A1可以是M个测量结果#A中的任意一个,例如,可以是按照测量顺序的第一个,或者最后一个,也可以是其中数值最大的一个,或者最小的一个。
测量结果#A1还可以指代任意一个或者多个测量结果#A经过数学运算得到的数值。例如,可以指代多个测量结果#A的平均值。
其中,按照测量的先后顺利,测量结果#A2在测量结果#A3之后测量得到,测量结果#A2与测量结果#A3的差值可以大于、等于或者小于零。
测量结果#A2和测量结果#A3也可以指代一个或者多个测量结果#A经过数学运算得到的数值,例如,可以指代多个测量结果#A的平均值。
作为一种判定方式,如果上述判定#A1的判定结果为是,和/或,判定#A2的判定结果为是,则可以停止对小区#B的测量。
否则,可以继续对小区#B的测量,例如,可以维持当前的测量状态不变。
作为示例,停止对小区#B的测量可以通过以下任意一种方式实现。
方式a,在终端设备#A确定需要停止测量后(具体地说,是针对小区#B的测量),可以启动定时器#A,该定时器#A用于指示停止对所述第二小区的测量的时长。例如,在定时器#A计时期间,停止对小区#B的测量。其中,可以在确定需要停止测量的同时立即启动定时器#A,也可以在确定需要停止测量之后,在测量一次或者多次之后再启动计时器#A,或者也可以在确定需要停止测量之后在经过一定的时长后在启动定时器#A,本申请对此并不限定。进一步地,在定时器#A停止后,可以重新开启对小区#B的测量。
此外,定时器#A也可以被配置为在在计时期间对小区#B进行测量,并且在定时器#A停止后,启动对小区#B的测量。例如,可以在定时器#A停止的同时启动对小区#B的测量。
其中,该定时器#A计时的时长可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
该定时器的时长应当大于相邻两次测量的时间间隔(或者说大于测量周期)。
例如,该定时器#A的时长可以是100ms、5min、10min、20min等。
方式b,在终端设备#A确定需要暂停测量后(具体地说,是针对小区#B的测量),可以启动计数器#A,并且,在计数器#A启动后,每经历一个测量周期,计数器递增(或递减)1,并且,在计数器计数期间,停止对小区#B的测量,并在计数器#A的计数达到 规定的计数值(或者,归零)时,重新开始对小区#B的测量。

方式2
终端设备#A可以使用第一时间间隔对小区#B进行测量,终端设备#A基于得到的该M个测量结果#A(例如,第一测量值)判定是否增大相邻两次对小区#B的测量之间的时间间隔。
具体地,终端设备#A可以基于该M个测量结果#A进行预设的判定(记做判定#B),并根据判定#B的结果,确定是否增大相邻两次对小区#B的测量之间的时间间隔。
例如,当M=1时,该判定#B可以包括:
该测量结果#A是否小于或等于预设的阈值#B1(例如,第一阈值)。
其中,该阈值#B1可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
如果判定结果为是,则可以增大测量时间间隔(或者说,延长测量周期)。
如果判定结果为否,则可以不增大测量时间间隔,例如,可以维持当前的测量状态不变。
再例如,当M>1时,该判定#B可以包括:
判定#B1:测量结果#A4是否小于或等于预设的阈值#B2(例如,第一阈值);或者,
判定#B2:两个测量结果的之间的差值是否小于或等于预设的阈值#B3。
具体地,能够根据该差值确定测量结果的变化速度以及信号是在变好还是变差,例如,信号在变差,或者信号在变好但是却变化速度很慢,则可以增大测量时间间隔。例如,该判定#B2可以是:按照测量的先后顺序,在后的一个测量结果#A5与在先的一个测量结果#A6的差值是否小于或等于预设的阈值#B3(例如,第二阈值)。
判定#B1和判定#B2可以单独进行判定,也可以结合进行判定。
其中,测量结果#A4、测量结果#A5、测量结果#A6可以是根据M个测量结果#A中的至少一个确定的。
可选地,测量结果#A5和测量结果#A6仅表示测量到的多次结果。测量结果#A5或者#A6可以等于测量结果#A4。
其中,该阈值#B2可以等于或者不等于前述的阈值#B1。
例如,该阈值#B2、阈值#B3可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
阈值#B2和阈值#B3可以相同,也可以不同。作为示例,该阈值#B2可以为质量门限值#5,阈值#B3可以为质量差门限值#3。
其中,测量结果#A4可以是M个测量结果#A中的任意一个。例如,可以是按照测量顺序的第一个,或者最后一个,也可以是其中数值最大的一个,或者最小的一个。
测量结果#A4还可以指代任意一个或者多个测量结果#A经过数学运算得到的数值。例如,可以指代多个测量结果#A的平均值。
其中,按照测量的先后顺利,测量结果#A5在测量结果#A6之后测量得到,测量结果#A5与测量结果#A6的差值可以大于、等于或者小于零。
测量结果#A5和测量结果#A6也可以指代一个或者多个测量结果#A经过数学运算得到的数值,例如,可以指代多个测量结果#A的平均值。
作为一种判定方式,如果上述判定#B1的判定结果为是,或者,判定#B2的判定结果为是,则可以增大测量时间间隔(或者说,延长测量周期)。
否则,可以不增大测量时间间隔,例如,可以维持当前的测量状态不变。
作为示例,该增大测量时间间隔可以通过如下方式进行。
在终端设备#A确定需要增大测量时间间隔之后(具体地说,是针对小区#B的测量),该终端设备#A增大相邻两次对所述小区#B的测量之间的时间间隔。例如,可以将当前的第一时间间隔变更为第二时间间隔,该第二时间间隔大于第一测量间隔,例如,第一时间间隔可以为200ms,该第二时间间隔可以为300ms。
增大相邻两次测量的时间间隔可以是将当前时间间隔增加特定时长,使之后测量的时间间隔变得更长,或者说,使之后的测量周期更长。
其中,当前时间间隔可以是该终端设备#A确定需要增大测量时间间隔之前,进行最后一次测量时的时间间隔。
该当前时间间隔可以是测量的初始时间间隔,也可以是增大后的时间间隔。
其中,该特定时长可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
例如,当前的相邻两次对所述小区#B的测量之间的时间间隔为200ms,该特定时长为100ms,当终端设备需要增大测量间隔以后,可以将之后测量的时间间隔增大为300ms。
参见图3,当终端设备#A通过方式2来控制对小区#B的测量时,并且在终端设备#A增大相邻两次对所述小区#B的测量之间的时间间隔之后(例如,此时时间间隔变更为第二测量间隔,该第二时间间隔大于第一时间间隔),该终端设备#A可以对小区#B继续进行测量。
例如,终端设备#A可以基于在时段#B获得的测量结果(记做,测量结果#B),判定是否恢复所述时间间隔。例如,可以判定是否恢复使用该第一时间间隔。
其中,该时段#B的起始时刻可以是所述时段#A的结束时刻,或者,所述时段#B的起始时刻在所述时段#A的结束时刻之后。
例如,该时段#B的起始时刻可以是时段#A之后任意一个测量周期的起始时刻。
或者,该时段#B的起始时刻也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
该时段#B的时长可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
例如,该时段#B可以包括N个测量周期。
其中,该N可以为大于或等于1的整数。
例如,该N的值也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
需要说明的是,当N大于1时,上述测量结果#B可以为多个,例如,N个,即,该N个测量周期与N个测量结果#B一一对应,每个测量结果是在所对应的测量周期获得的测量结果。
具体地说,终端设备#A基于该N个测量结果#B(例如,第二测量值)判定是否恢复所述时间间隔。
例如,终端设备#A可以基于该N个测量结果#B进行预设的判定(记做判定#C),并根据判定#C的结果,确定是否恢复所述时间间隔。
例如,当N=1时,该判定#C可以包括:
判定该测量结果#B是否大于预设的阈值#C1。
其中,该阈值#C1可以由终端设备#A任意确定,也可以由通信系统或通信协议规定,或者,也可以由网络设备(例如,小区#A或小区#B的接入设备)配置,本申请并未特别限定。
如果判定结果为是,则可以恢复所述时间间隔。例如,可以恢复使用该第一时间间隔。
如果判定结果为否,则可以不恢复所述时间间隔,例如,维持当前的测量状态不变。
再例如,当N>1时,该判定#C可以包括:
判定#C1:测量结果#B1是否大于预设的阈值#C2;和/或,
判定#C2:两个测量结果的之间的差值是否大于预设的阈值#B3。
具体地,能够根据该差值确定测量结果的变化速度以及信号是在变好还是变差,例如,该判定#B2可以是按照测量的先后顺序,在后的一个测量结果#B2与在先的一个测量结果#B3的差值是否大于预设的阈值#C3。
判定#C1和判定#C2可以单独进行判定,也可以结合进行判定。
其中,该阈值#C2可以等于或者不等于前述的阈值#C1。
