Description

一种测量方法和装置
本申请要求于2019年06月28日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为201910573372.6、申请名称为“一种测量方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种测量方法和装置。
背景技术
双连接(Dual Connectivity，DC)技术和载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)技术可以提升系统的频谱效率和用户吞吐率。为了让终端设备快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合，现有的一种方案是在终端设备从连接态(RRC_CONNECTED state)释放(RRC Release或者RRC Connection Release)到空闲态(RRC_IDLE state)或非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE state)时，终端设备根据网络下发的测量配置进行早期测量，一旦发起接入过程，终端设备可以上报该早期测量结果，网络根据收到的测量结果建立合适的双连接和/或载波聚合。
但是，现有的方案中，终端设备一旦移出有效区域，终端设备不再进行早期测量。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种测量方法和装置，能够灵活地配置有效区域，使得终端设备能够快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合。
本申请实施例的第一方面，提供一种测量方法，该方法包括：终端设备获取定时器；该终端设备获取两个或两个以上测量配置，其中，每个测量配置包括有效区域和与该有效区域对应的测量频点，该有效区域包括一个或多个小区；在该终端设备驻留的小区与上述有效区域匹配的情况下，该终端设备对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量；其中，该终端设备处于空闲态或非激活态，上述定时器未停止且未失效。基于本方案，终端设备可以获取多个测量配置，而且终端设备可以对其驻留的小区匹配的有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。可以理解的，本申请实施例中可以灵活地配置有效区域，并在终端设备驻留的小区与某个有效区域匹配的情况下，对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。与现有技术中终端设备仅接收一个早期测量配置相比，本申请实施例中的测量方法中终端设备可以接收多个测量配置，从而终端设备可以基于该多个测量配置，对与终端设备驻留的小区匹配的有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量，从而不仅能够灵活地配置有效区域，而且使得终端设备能够快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合。
结合第一方面，在第一种可能的实现方式中，不同测量配置包括的有效区域不完全重叠或者不重叠。基于本方案，不同有效区域包括的一个或多个小区可以有部分小区相同，也可以完全不同。
结合第一方面或第一方面的任一可能的实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中， 上述两个或两个以上测量配置包括第一测量配置和第二测量配置，该第一测量配置包括第一有效区域，以及与该第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点；该第二测量配置包括第二有效区域，以及与该第二有效区域对应的第二测量频点；上述终端设备获取两个或两个以上测量配置，包括：上述终端设备从第一小区接收上述第一测量配置，该第一小区为上述终端设备从连接态释放时该终端设备驻留的小区；在上述终端设备重选的第二小区与上述第一有效区域不匹配的情况下，上述终端设备继续运行上述定时器，且上述终端设备从上述第二小区接收上述第二测量配置。基于本方案，在终端设备重选的小区与第一有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备继续运行定时器，并从重选的小区接收新的测量配置(第二测量配置)；与现有技术中终端设备重选的小区与连接释放时的第一测量配置不匹配的情况下，终端设备停止运行定时器，不再进行早期测量相比，本方案能够在终端设备重选的小区与最近一次接收的有效区域不匹配的情况下，从该重选的小区接收新的测量配置，而且由于终端设备继续运行定时器，因此，终端设备的早期测量不会停止。
可选的，上述有效区域可以仅包括终端设备当前驻留的小区。例如，第一有效区域可以仅包括终端设备从连接态释放时的第一小区，第二有效区域可以仅包括第二小区。由于有效区域仅包括终端设备当前驻留的小区，因此终端设备一旦从第一小区重选到第二小区，终端设备无需再判断该重选的第二小区是否与第一有效区域匹配，终端设备可以直接从重选的第二小区接收新的测量配置。
结合第一方面或第一方面的任一可能的实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，上述方法还包括：上述终端设备存储该终端设备最近一次接收到的测量配置；或者，上述终端设备存储上述第一测量配置，以及上述终端设备最近一次接收到的测量配置。基于本方案，终端设备可以仅存储最近一次接收的测量配置，也可以既存储最近一次接收的测量配置，又存储终端设备从连接态释放时从第一小区接收的第一测量配置。可以理解的，在终端设备存储第一测量配置，以及终端设备最近一次接收到的测量配置的情况下，终端设备始终维护从连接态释放时无线接入网设备发送的第一测量配置，以及最近一次接收的测量配置。
结合第一方面或第一方面的任一可能的实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，上述方法还包括：在上述终端设备存储上述第一测量配置，且上述终端设备重选的第三小区与上述第一有效区域匹配的情况下，上述终端设备基于上述第一测量配置，对上述第一测量频点进行测量。基于本方案，在终端设备始终维护从连接态释放时无线接入网设备发送的第一测量配置的情况下，如果终端再次重选回第一有效区域的范围内时，终端设备无需再接收第一测量配置，可以直接根据其存储的第一测量配置，对第一测量频点进行测量。
结合第一方面或第一方面的任一可能的实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，上述第一测量配置携带在上述第一小区的无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令或系统信息块(system information block，SIB)中；上述第二测量配置携带在上述第二小区的SIB中。基于本方案，终端设备可以从第一小区的RRC信令或SIB中接收第一测量配置，终端设备可以从第二小区的SIB中接收第二测量配置。

结合第一方面或第一方面的任一可能的实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，上述终端设备基于上述测量配置，对与上述终端设备驻留的小区匹配的有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量，包括：在上述终端设备当前驻留的小区与上述两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域不匹配的情况下，上述终端设备暂停测量，且上述终端设备继续运行上述定时器；在上述终端设备重选的第四小区与所述两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域匹配的情况下，上述终端设备对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。基于本方案，在终端设备驻留的小区与多个测量配置包括的有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备可以将早期测量挂起，并继续运行定时器，待终端设备再重选回有效区域的范围内时，再基于多个测量配置进行早期测量。可以理解的，本方案中终端设备移出有效区域时，终端设备并未像现有技术一样停止运行定时器，不再进行早期测量，而是继续运行定时器，且将早期测量挂起，即暂时不进行早期测量，待终端设备再次移回有效区域的范围内时，可以继续执行早期测量。
结合第一方面或第一方面的任一可能的实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，上述两个或两个以上测量配置携带在所述第一小区的RRC信令或SIB中。基于本方案，终端设备可以从第一小区的RRC信令或SIB中接收多个测量配置。

需要说明的是，本申请中，“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其他实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言，使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。

本申请实施例中出现的“网络”与“系统”表达的是同一概念，通信系统即为通信网络。
示例性的，当用户通过终端设备与其他用户的终端设备进行通话时，终端设备的状态为连接态，当用户结束通话锁屏后，终端设备接收网络设备发送的RRC连接释放消息，终端设备从连接态释放为空闲态或非激活态。由于终端设备再次进入连接态时， 终端设备可能有大量的业务数据需要传输，为了使终端设备快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合，以提升数据传输效率。终端设备可以根据无线接入网设备下发的测量配置进行早期测量，从而一旦发起接入过程，终端设备可以上报该早期测量结果，网络根据收到的测量结果建立合适的双连接和/或载波聚合。即该早期测量是指终端设备进入连接态之前进行的测量。
示例性的，如图1所示，基站1下部署有频点F1，小区Cell1，频点F2，小区Cell2。基站2下部署有覆盖范围较小的频点点F3，小区Cell3。基站1和基站2可以建立双连接。基站3下部署有频点F4，小区Cell4，频点F1，小区Cell5。基站4下部署有频点F2，Cell6。基站3和基站4可以建立双连接。由于基站的覆盖范围不同，基站1和基站3、4不可以建立双连接，基站2也不可以与基站3、4建立双连接。
以终端设备从连接态释放时，该终端设备驻留的小区为F2频点下的小区Cell2为例。终端设备接收无线接入网设备发送的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)信令后，终端设备从连接态释放为空闲态或非激活态。该RRC信令中可以携带定时器和早期测量配置，该早期测量配置包括有效区域和测量频点。例如，该早期测量配置中的有效区域为{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，测量频点包括F1、F2和F3。当终端设备接收到网络侧发送的定时器时，终端设备启动定时器，如果终端设备驻留的小区为图1中的Cell2，终端设备将其当前驻留的小区(Cell2)与有效区域进行匹配(match)，由于图1中的Cell2为网络侧配置的有效区域列表中的小区，因此终端设备当前驻留的小区(Cell2)与有效区域匹配，因此终端设备可以对测量频点F1、F2和F3进行早期测量。但是，一旦终端设备重选到图1中的Cell4(或者Cell5、或者Cell6)时，由于Cell4(或者Cell5、或者Cell6)与网络侧配置的有效区域不匹配，终端设备停止运行定时器，且终端设备不再进行早期测量。
为了解决终端设备一旦移出有效区域，终端设备不再进行早期测量的问题。本申请实施例提供了一种测量方法，能够灵活地配置有效区域，使得终端设备能够快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合。
示例性的，本申请实施例提供的测量方法可以应用于图2所示的终端装置。该终端装置可以是芯片、用于终端的装置，或终端设备。

通信总线204，可以是工业标准体系结构(Industry Standard Architecture，ISA)总线、外部通信设备互连(Peripheral Component Interconnect，PCI)总线或扩展工业标准体系结构(Extended Industry Standard Architecture，EISA)总线等。该总线可以分为地址总线、数据总线、控制总线等。为便于表示，图2中仅用一条粗线表示，但并不表示仅有一根总线或一种类型的总线。
图2中示出的结构并不构成对终端装置的限定，终端装置200可以包括比图示更多或更少的部件，或者组合某些部件，或者不同的部件布置。
图3为本申请实施例提供的一种测量方法，如图3所示，该测量方法可以包括步骤S301-S306。
S301、无线接入网设备确定两个或两个以上测量配置，其中，每个测量配置包括有效区域和与该有效区域对应的测量频点。
示例性的，有效区域可以包括一个或多个小区。该有效区域可以是一个小区列表，小区列表中包括一个或多个小区，该一个或多个小区组成了有效区域。例如，小区列表中的每个小区可以用物理小区标识(Physical cell Identifier，PCI)表示，由于每个频点下的小区的PCI的取值范围均为0-503，因此为了区分不同的小区的PCI，该有效区域中的小区可以用某个频点下的小区PCI表示。例如，如图1所示，频点F1下的小区Cell1可以记为(F1，Cell1)。
示例性的，测量频点可以包含在测量频点列表中，该测量频点列表中的测量频点可以有一个或多个。
示例性的，无线接入网设备可以是基站，或者是提供无线接入的网络中的设备，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。本申请实施例中仅以无线接入网设备为基站为例进行说明。
示例性的，上述无线接入网设备确定两个或两个以上测量配置，可以包括：无线接入网设备确定终端设备可能建立DC和/或CA的频点组合，或者，无线接入网设备与其他接入网设备通过接口消息交互，确定终端设备可能建立DC和/或CA的频点组合。无线接入网设备根据终端设备可能建立DC和/或CA的频点组合，确定测量配置中的测量频点列表，再根据该测量频点列表的有效范围确定有效区域。可选的，无线接入网设备根据该测量频点列表的有效范围确定有效区域可以包括：无线接入网设备预估终端设备在空闲态或非激活态的移动范围，确定测量配置的有效区域。本申请实施例对于无线接入网设备确定两个或两个以上测量配置的具体方法并不进行限定，在此仅是示例性说明。
可选的，上述两个或两个以上测量配置可以是一个无线接入网设备确定的，也可以是多个无线接入网设备确定的，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。
可选的，不同测量配置包括的有效区域不完全重叠或者不重叠。即不同测量配置包括的有效区域包括的一个或多个小区可以有部分小区相同，也可以完全不同。
S302、无线接入网设备向终端设备发送定时器。
该定时器为终端设备执行早期测量的定时器，当定时器停止或失效时，终端设备无需进行早期测量。
该定时器可以携带在专用信令中，该专用信令可以为RRC信令，例如，RRC Release或RRC Connection Release。示例性的，无线接入网设备向终端设备发送RRC信令，该RRC信令中携带定时器。终端设备收到该RRC信令后从连接态释放为空闲态或非激活态。
S303、终端设备接收并启动定时器。
示例性的，终端设备接收无线接入网设备下发的定时器后，启动该定时器。可以理解的，定时器启动后，终端设备可以执行早期测量。
示例性的，终端设备接收定时器可以包括：终端设备接收无线接入网设备发送的RRC信令，终端设备启动定时器，并从连接态释放为空闲态或非激活态。
S304、无线接入网设备通过终端设备驻留的小区向终端设备发送两个或两个以上测量配置。
示例性的，该两个或两个以上测量配置可以是一个无线接入网设备通过一个小区下发的，也可以是不同的无线接入网设备或者同一个无线接入网设备通过不同的小区下发的，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。
示例性的，上述终端设备驻留的小区可以包括：终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区，也可以包括终端设备移动并进行小区重选后，终端设备驻留的小区。例如，终端设备从连接态释放时驻留在小区A，随后进行小区重选，驻留到小区B，也就是说小区A和小区B先后作为该终端设备的驻留小区。
一种实现方式中，上述两个或两个以上测量配置可以和定时器一起携带在第一小区的RRC信令中，也可以单独携带在第一小区的系统消息块(System Information Block， SIB)中，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。该第一小区为终端设备从连接态释放时该终端设备驻留的小区。例如，当两个或两个以上测量配置携带在第一小区的RRC信令中时，由于定时器也携带在第一小区的RRC信令中，因此上述步骤S302和S304可以合为一个步骤。即，无线接入网设备通过第一小区向终端设备发送RRC信令，该RRC信令中携带定时器和两个或两个以上测量配置。
另一种实现方式中，上述两个或两个以上测量配置中的一个测量配置可以和定时器一起携带在第一小区的RRC信令中，也可以单独携带在第一小区的系统消息块(System Information Block，SIB)中。上述两个或两个以上测量配置中的其他测量配置携带在第二小区的SIB中，该第二小区为与第一小区以外的其他小区。
S305、终端设备接收两个或两个以上测量配置。
示例性的，终端设备可以从一个小区接收两个或两个以上测量配置，也可以从不同的小区接收两个或两个以上测量配置，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。例如，终端设备可以从连接态释放时驻留的小区接收两个或两个以上测量配置。再例如，终端设备可以从不同的小区接收两个测量配置，具体地，终端可以从连接态释放时驻留的小区获取一个测量配置，随后在进行小区重选后，终端设备可以从最新驻留的小区获取另一个测量配置。
可选的，终端设备可以存储该两个或两个以上测量配置。示例性的，终端设备可以将该两个或两个以上测量配置存储在本地。例如，终端设备可以在本地变量中存储该两个或两个以上测量配置，该本地变量可以为VarMeasIdleConfig。该变量可以包含定时器和第一测量配置，也可以仅包含第一测量配置，本实施例对此不做限制。
S306、在终端设备驻留的小区与有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备对该有效区域对应的第一测量频点进行测量。
其中，终端设备处于空闲态或非激活态。可以理解的，本申请实施例中终端设备接收无线接入网设备发送的RRC信令后，终端设备从连接态释放为空闲态或非激活态，因此，终端设备对测量频点进行的测量，是该终端设备进入连接态之前进行的早期测量。可以理解的，本实施例中的测量均是在终端设备进入连接态之前进行的早期测量。
示例性的，上述步骤S306中终端设备驻留的小区可以包括：终端设备选择的小区，或，终端设备重选的小区。例如，终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区，或者，终端设备重选后驻留的小区，该终端设备重选后驻留的小区与有效区域匹配。
示例性的，终端设备确定其驻留的小区与有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备可以对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。例如，如图1所示，以终端设备驻留的小区为终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区F2频点下的小区Cell2为例。由于终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区属于有效区域内的小区，即终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区与有效区域匹配，终端设备可以对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，如图4所示，以终端设备驻留的小区为终端设备重选后终端设备驻留的小区F3频点下的小区Cell3为例。终端设备可以根据其当前驻留的小区(F3，Cell3)，确定该小区是否与有效区域匹配(match)。在终端设备当前驻留的小区(F3，Cell3)与有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备可以对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。
可以理解的，上述终端设备驻留的小区与第一有效区域匹配(match)，也可以称为是终端设备驻留的小区与第一有效区域包括的小区对应，或者，终端设备驻留的小区可以映射到第一有效区域。即第一有效区域包括的一个或多个小区中包括终端设备驻留的小区。
可选的，终端设备可以基于终端设备中存储的第一测量配置，确定终端设备当前驻留的小区是否与本地变量中存储的第一有效区域匹配。在终端设备驻留的小区与第一有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备对本地变量中存储的第一测量频点进行测量。
可选的，终端设备可以在本地变量中存储对第一测量频点进行测量的结果。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，终端设备对测量频点进行测量时，定时器均未停止且未失效。
本申请实施例提供的测量方法，通过无线接入网设备确定两个或两个以上测量配置，每个测量配置包括有效区域和与该有效区域对应的测量频点；无线接入网设备向终端设备发送定时器；终端设备接收并启动定时器；无线接入网设备通过终端设备驻留的小区向终端设备发送两个或两个以上测量配置；终端设备接收两个或两个以上测量配置；在终端设备驻留的小区与有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备对该有效区域对应的第一测量频点进行测量。本实施例中的测量方法，无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置多个测量配置，而且每个测量配置包括有效区域和测量频点相对应，从而在终端设备驻留的小区与某个有效区域匹配的情况下，对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。与现有技术中终端设备仅接收一个早期测量配置相比，本申请实施例中的测量方法中终端设备可以接收多个测量配置，从而终端设备可以基于该多个测量配置，对与终端设备驻留的小区匹配的有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量，从而不仅能够灵活地配置有效区域，而且使得终端设备能够快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合。
可选的，上述步骤S305中终端设备可以从不同的小区接收上述两个或两个以上测量配置。示例性的，以两个或两个以上测量配置包括第一测量配置和第二测量配置为例，第一测量配置包括第一有效区域，以及与该第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点。第二测量配置包括第二有效区域，以及与该第二有效区域对应的第二测量频点。上述步骤S305可以包括步骤：S3051-S3052。
S3051、终端设备从第一小区接收第一测量配置，第一小区为终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区。
该第一小区为终端设备从连接态释放时该终端设备驻留的小区，该第一小区为第一无线接入网设备管理的小区和/或第一无线接入网设备覆盖范围内的小区。
例如，如图1所示，第一有效区域可以为{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，即该第一有效区域包括三个小区，三个小区分别为频点F1下的小区Cell1，频点F2下的小区Cell2，频点F3下的小区Cell3。第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点可以为{F1，F2，F3}。即频点列表中的第一测量频点包括频点F1、频点F2，以及频点F3。
示例性的，当第一测量配置携带在RRC信令中时，终端设备从第一小区接收RRC信令，获取第一测量配置。当第一测量配置携带在第一小区的SIB中时，终端设备接收第一小区的SIB，获取第一测量配置。
可选的，终端设备可以存储该第一测量配置。例如，终端设备可以在本地变量中存储该第一测量配置。
S3052、在终端设备重选的第二小区与第一有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备继续运行定时器，且终端设备从第二小区接收第二测量配置。
示例性的，如图5所示，以终端设备重选的第二小区为F4频点下的小区Cell4为例。由于第一有效区域包括{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，即第一有效区域的小区列表中不包括终端设备重选的第二小区(F4，Cell4)，因此终端设备可以确定其重选的第二小区(F4，Cell4)与第一有效区域不匹配。终端设备继续运行定时器，并且从第二小区(F4，Cell4)接收第二测量配置。
示例性的，一种实现方式中，终端设备接收第二测量配置时，可以将本地变量中存储的第一测量配置释放，将第二测量配置存储在本地变量中，即终端设备更新本地变量中的测量配置。在该实现方式中，终端设备中可以存储该终端设备最近一次接收的测量配置。
另一种实现方式中，终端设备接收第二测量配置时，终端设备可以不释放本地变量中存储的第一测量配置，将第二测量配置也存储在本地变量中。在该实现方式中，终端设备中可以存储第一测量配置，以及终端设备最近一次接收的测量配置。可以理解的，当终端设备中存储第一测量配置，以及终端设备最近一次接收的测量配置时，该终端设备始终维护终端设备从连接态释放时网络侧发送的第一测量配置，以及最近一次接收的测量配置。即，终端设备始终维护上述第一小区的RRC信令或第一小区的SIB下发的第一测量配置，以及终端设备最近一次接收的测量配置。
需要说明的是，本实施例仅是以两个或两个以上测量配置包括第一测量配置和第二测量配置为例进行说明。实际应用中，两个或两个以上测量配置还可以包括更多个测量配置。在终端设备重选的小区，与终端设备最近一次接收的测量配置包括的有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备可以从该重选的小区接收新的测量配置。
可以理解的，本实施例在终端设备重选的小区与有效区域不匹配时，终端设备不会将定时器停止(不再进行早起测量)，而是会继续运行定时器，并接收其重选的小区发送的新的测量配置(第二测量配置)。与现有技术中终端设备重选的小区与连接释放时的早期测量配置不匹配的情况下，终端设备停止运行定时器，不再进行早期测量相比，本方案能够在终端设备重选的小区与最近一次接收的有效区域不匹配的情况下，从该重选的小区接收新的测量配置，而且由于终端设备继续运行定时器，因此，终端设备的早期测量不会停止。
下面结合具体应用场景对本申请实施例提供的测量方法进行详细说明。
本申请还提供一个实施例，如图6所示，该测量方法可以包括步骤S601-S611。
S601、第一无线接入网设备确定第一测量配置。
如图1所示，第一测量配置中的第一有效区域可以表示为{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，即该第一有效区域包括三个小区，三个小区分别为频点F1下的小区Cell1，频点F2下的小区Cell2，频点F3下的小区Cell3。第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点可以为{F1，F2，F3}。即频点列表中的第一测量频点包括频点F1、频点F2，以及频点F3。
可以理解的，步骤S601的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S301的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S602、第一无线接入网设备向终端设备发送定时器。
S603、终端设备接收并启动定时器。
可以理解的，上述步骤S602-S603的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S302-S303的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S604、第一无线接入网设备通过第一小区向终端设备发送第一测量配置。
该第一小区为终端设备从连接态释放时该终端设备驻留的小区，该第一小区为第一无线接入网设备管理的小区和/或第一无线接入网设备覆盖范围内的小区。如图1所示，若终端设备接收到RRC连接释放消息时，该终端设备驻留的小区为F2频点的小区Cell2，那么该F2频点的小区Cell2为第一小区。该第一无线接入网设备可以为图1中的基站1。
示例性的，该第一测量配置可以和定时器一起携带在第一小区的RRC信令中，也可以单独携带在第一小区的系统消息块(System Information Block，SIB)中，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。例如，当第一测量配置携带在RRC信令中时，由于定时器也携带在RRC信令中，因此上述步骤S602和S604可以合为一个步骤。
需要说明的是，当专用信令中携带第一测量配置，第一小区的SIB中也携带第一测量配置时，终端设备会采用专用信令下发的第一测量配置而不采用第一小区的SIB携带的第一测量配置。即专用信令中的第一测量配置的优先级高于SIB中的第一测量配置的优先级。当专用信令中仅携带定时器，未携带第一测量配置时，终端设备可以接收第一小区的SIB，获取第一测量配置。
S605、终端设备从第一小区接收第一测量配置。
可以理解的，步骤S605的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S3051的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S606、在终端设备驻留的小区与第一有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备对第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，如图1所示，以终端设备驻留的小区为终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区F2，Cell2为例。由于终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区属于第一有效区域内的小区，即终端设备从连接态释放时终端设备驻留的小区与第一有效区域匹配，终端设备基于第一测量配置，对第一测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，如图4所示，以终端设备驻留的小区为终端设备重选后终端设备驻留的小区F3，Cell3为例。终端设备可以根据其当前驻留的小区(F3，Cell3)，确定该小区是否与第一有效区域匹配(match)。由于第一有效区域包括{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，即第一有效区域的小区列表中包括终端设备当前驻留的小区(F3，Cell3)，因此终端设备可以确定其当前驻留的小区与第一有效区域匹配，终端设备可以对该第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点{F1，F2，F3}进行测量。
可以理解的，步骤S606的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S306的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S607、终端设备重选至第二小区，该第二小区与第一有效区域不匹配。
示例性的，如图5所示，以终端设备重选的第二小区为F4，Cell4为例。由于第一有效区域包括{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，即第一有效区域的小区列表中不包括终端设备重选的第二小区(F4，Cell4)，因此终端设备可以确定其重选的第二小区(F4，Cell4)与第一有效区域不匹配。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例对于终端设备重选至第二小区的方法并不进行限定，可以参考现有技术中移动性管理中的小区重选方法。
S608、第二无线接入网设备确定第二测量配置。
该第二无线接入网设备和上述第一无线接入网设备可以为同一个无线接入网设备，也可以为不同的无线接入网设备，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。
如图5所示，第二测量配置中的第二有效区域可以为{(F4，Cell4)，(F1，Cell5)，(F2，Cell6)}，即该第二有效区域包括三个小区，三个小区分别为频点F4下的小区Cell4，频点F1下的小区Cell5，频点F2下的小区Cell6。第二有效区域对应的第二测量频点可以是{F1，F2，F4}。即频点列表中的第二测量频点包括频点F1、频点F2，以及频点F4。
可选的，第一有效区域包括的一个或多个小区，与第二有效区域包括的一个或多个小区可以有部分小区相同。例如，一个小区既可以属于第一有效区域，也可以属于第二有效区域。可选的，第一有效区域包括的一个或多个小区，与第二有效区域包括的一个或多个小区可以完全不同。例如。一个小区只属于第一有效区域，或者，只属于第二有效区域。
需要说明的是，对于步骤S608与前述步骤S601-S607的先后顺序，本申请实施例并不进行限定。
可以理解的，步骤S608的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S301的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S609、第二无线接入网设备通过第二小区向终端设备发送第二测量配置。
该第二测量配置携带在第二小区的SIB中。第二小区为第二无线接入网设备管理的小区和/或第二无线接入网设备覆盖范围内的小区。在此仅以第二无线接入网设备和第一无线接入网设备不同为例，例如，第二无线接入网设备可以为图5中的基站3。如图5所示，基站3可以通过频点F4下的小区Cell4，向终端设备发送第二测量配置，该第二测量配置携带在小区Cell4的SIB中。
S610、终端设备继续运行定时器，且终端设备从第二小区接收第二测量配置。
可以理解的，步骤S610的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S3052的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S611、终端设备基于第二测量配置，对第二有效区域对应的第二测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，终端设备可以基于本地变量中存储的第二测量配置，对第二测量频点进行测量。
可选的，终端设备可以将本地变量中存储的对第一测量频点进行测量的结果释放，并在本地变量中存储对第二测量频点进行测量的结果。即终端设备可以在本地变量中存储最新的测量结果。从而一旦发起接入过程，终端设备可以将最新的测量结果上报 给无线接入网设备，使得无线接入网设备能够根据该测量结果快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合。
本实施例中的测量方法，在终端设备重选的小区，与终端设备从连接态释放时无线接入网设备配置的有效区域不匹配时，终端设备可以继续运行定时器，并从重选的小区接收新的测量配置，并基于新的测量配置进行早期测量，一旦发起接入过程，终端设备可以上报该早期测量结果，网络可以根据收到的测量结果建立合适的双连接和/或载波聚合，因此能够快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合。
可选的，在上述步骤S611之后，如果终端设备重选至第三小区，第三小区与第二有效区域不匹配，终端设备可以从该第三小区接收新的测量配置(第三测量配置)，并在本地变量中存储该第三测量配置，基于该第三测量配置，对第三有效区域对应的第三测量频点进行测量。即可以继续按照步骤S607-S611执行早期测量，在此不做赘述。可以理解的，本实施例中方案可以在终端设备重选的小区，与终端设备最近一次接收的测量配置包括的有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备可以从该重选的小区接收新的测量配置，并基于该新的测量配置执行早期测量。
可选的，当终端设备中存储第一测量配置，以及终端设备最近一次接收的测量配置时，在上述步骤S611之后，如果终端设备重选至第四小区，该第四小区与第一有效区域匹配，即终端设备重选至第一有效区域的范围内时，终端设备可以基于本地变量中存储第一测量配置，对第一测量频点进行测量。可以理解的，在终端设备中始终存储第一测量配置的情况下，如果终端设备重选到第一有效区域外时，接收新的测量配置，并基于新的测量配置进行测量。当终端设备再次重选回第一有效区域的范围内时，由于终端设备中存储了第一有效区域，因此无需再次接收新的测量配置，可以直接根据第一测量配置进行测量。
可选的，一种实现方式中，上述步骤S601-S611中的有效区域可以仅包括终端设备当前驻留的小区。例如，上述步骤S601中的第一有效区域可以仅包括终端设备从连接态释放时的第一小区，当终端设备从第一小区重选至第二小区时，终端设备继续运行定时器，并从第二小区接收第二测量配置，该第二测量配置包括的第二有效区域仅包括第二小区。在该实现方式中，由于有效区域仅包括终端设备当前驻留的小区，因此终端设备一旦从第一小区重选到第二小区，终端设备无需再判断该重选的第二小区是否与第一有效区域匹配，终端设备将直接从重选的第二小区接收新的测量配置。
本申请实施例提供的测量方法，通过终端设备从连接态释放时接收第一测量配置，并在终端设备驻留的小区与第一有效区域匹配的情况下，基于第一测量配置对第一测量频点进行测量。在终端设备重选的小区与第一有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备继续运行定时器，并从该重选的小区接收新的测量配置，并基于新的测量配置进行早期测量。因此，本申请实施例解决了现有技术中一旦移出有效区域，终端设备不再进行早期测量的问题。本申请能够灵活地配置有效区域，并在终端设备移出有效区域时，接收新的测量配置进行早期测量，从而能够将最新的测量结果上报给无线接入网设备，因此能够快速的建立双连接和/或载波聚合。
本申请实提供又一实施例，如图7所示，在上述步骤S601-S607之后，还可以包括步骤S612-S614。
S612、终端设备暂停测量，且终端设备继续运行定时器。
示例性的，在终端设备重选的第二小区与第一有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备可以将早期测量挂起，并继续运行定时器。由于定时器未停止且未失效，因此早期测量不会停止，只是终端设备暂时不进行早期测量而已。
S613、终端设备重选至第五小区，该第五小区与第一有效区域匹配。
示例性的，以终端设备重选的第五小区为图5中的F2频点下的小区Cell2为例。终端设备可以根据第五小区(F2，Cell2)，确定该小区是否与第一测量配置包括的第一有效区域匹配(match)。由于第一有效区域为{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，即第一有效区域的小区列表中包括第五小区(F2，Cell2)，因此终端设备可以确定第五小区(F2，Cell2)与第一有效区域匹配。
S614、终端设备基于第一测量配置，对第一测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，当终端设备再次重选至第一测量配置包括的第一有效区域范围内时，可以基于终端设备从连接态释放时接收的第一测量配置，对第一测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，当终端设备再次重选至第一测量配置包括的第一有效区域范围内时，可以基于终端设备从连接态释放时接收的第一测量配置，对第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点进行测量。
本申请实施例提供的测量方法，通过在终端设备从连接态释放时下发第一测量配置，第一测量配置包括第一有效区域和第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点；在终端设备驻留的小区与第一有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备对第一测量频点进行测量；在终端设备重选的小区与第一有效区域不匹配的情况下，终端设备暂停测量，终端设备继续运行定时器；待终端设备再次移回第一有效区域的范围内时，终端设备可以基于第一测量配置继续进行早期测量。本实施例解决了现有技术中一旦移出有效区域，终端设备不再进行早期测量的问题。本申请能够在终端设备移出有效区域时，暂停早期测量，并在终端设备移回有效区域时，继续进行早期测量。
本申请提供又一实施例，如图8所示，该测量方法包括步骤S801-S810。
S801、第一无线接入网设备确定两个或两个以上测量配置，每个测量配置包括有效区域和与有效区域对应的测量频点。

示例性的，结合图9所示，上述两个或两个以上测量配置可以包括第一测量配置、第二测量配置和第三测量配置。例如，第一测量配置包括第一有效区域和与第一有效区域对应的第一测量频点，第一有效区域为{(F1，Cell1)，(F2，Cell2)，(F3，Cell3)}，第一测量频点为{F1，F2，F3}。第二测量配置包括第二有效区域和与第二 有效区域对应的第二测量频点，第二有效区域为{(F4，Cell4)，(F1，Cell5)，(F2，Cell6)}，第二测量频点为{F1，F2，F4}。第三测量配置包括第三有效区域和与第三有效区域对应的第三测量频点，第三有效区域为{(F1，Cell7)，(F5，Cell8)}，第三测量频点为{F1，F5}。
可以理解的，步骤S801的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S301的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S802、第一无线接入网设备向终端设备发送定时器。
S803、终端设备接收并启动定时器。
可以理解的，上述步骤S802-S803的具体实现方式可以参考步骤S302-S303的具体实现方式，在此不再赘述。
S804、第一无线接入网设备通过第一小区向终端设备发送两个或两个以上测量配置。
该第一小区为终端设备从连接态释放时该终端设备驻留的小区，该第一小区为第一无线接入网设备管理的小区和/或第一无线接入网设备覆盖范围内的小区。如图9所示，若终端设备接收到RRC连接释放消息时，该终端设备驻留的小区为F2频点的小区Cell2，那么该第一小区为F2，Cell2。该第一无线接入网设备可以为图9中的基站1。
示例性的，该两个或两个以上测量配置可以和定时器一起携带在第一小区的RRC信令中，也可以单独携带在第一小区的SIB中，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。

示例性的，当两个或两个以上测量配置携带在RRC信令中时，终端设备从第一小区接收RRC信令，获取两个或两个以上测量配置。当两个或两个以上测量配置携带在第一小区的SIB中时，终端设备接收第一小区的SIB，获取两个或两个以上测量配置。
可选的，终端设备可以存储该两个或两个以上测量配置。例如，终端设备可以在本地变量中存储两个或两个以上测量配置。
S806、在终端设备驻留的小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域匹配的情况下，终端设备对该有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，上述终端设备驻留的小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域匹配，可以包括：终端设备驻留的小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的一个有效区域匹配，或者，也可以包括终端设备驻留的小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的多个有效区域匹配，本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。在此仅以终端设备驻留的小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的一个有效区域为例进行说明。
例如，以终端设备当前驻留的小区为图9中的F1频点下的小区Cell7为例。终端设备可以根据其当前驻留的小区(F1，Cell7)，确定该小区是否与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域匹配(match)。由于第三有效区域为{(F1，Cell7)，(F5，Cell8)}，即第三有效区域的小区列表中包括终端设备当前驻留的小区(F1，Cell7)，因此终端设备可以确定其当前驻留的小区(F1，Cell7)与第三有效区域匹配，终端设备可以对该第三有效区域对应的第三测量频点{F1，F5}进行测量。
S807、终端设备重选至第六小区，该第六小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的 有效区域不匹配。
示例性的，该第六小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域不匹配可以包括：第六小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的所有有效区域均不匹配。
例如，如图10所示，若终端设备重选的第六小区为图10中频点F4下的小区Cell9，由于第一有效区域、第二有效区域和第三有效区域中均不包括该第六小区，即第六与这三个有效区域均不匹配。
S808、终端设备暂停测量，且终端设备继续运行定时器。
示例性的，在终端设备重选的第六小区与所有有效区域均不匹配的情况下，终端设备可以将早期测量挂起，并继续运行定时器。由于定时器未停止且未失效，因此早期测量不会停止。即，在终端设备重选到两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域以外的小区时，终端只是暂时不进行早期测量而已。
S809、终端设备重选至第七小区，该第七小区与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域匹配。
示例性的，以终端设备重选的第七小区为图10中的F2频点下的小区Cell6为例。终端设备可以根据其当前驻留的小区(F2，Cell6)，确定该小区是否与两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域匹配(match)。由于第二有效区域为{(F4，Cell4)，(F1，Cell5)，(F2，Cell6)}，即第二有效区域的小区列表中包括终端设备当前驻留的小区(F2，Cell6)，因此终端设备可以确定其当前驻留的小区(F2，Cell6)与第二有效区域匹配。
S810、终端设备基于两个或两个以上测量配置，对与第七小区匹配的有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。
示例性的，当终端设备再次重选至两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域范围内时，可以基于终端设备从连接态释放时接收的两个或两个以上测量配置，对匹配的有效区域对应的测量频点进行测量。
例如，以终端设备重选的第七小区为图10中的F2频点下的小区Cell6为例。由于第七小区(F2，Cell6)与第二有效区域匹配，终端设备可以对第二有效区域对应的第二测量频点进行测量。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，终端设备对测量频点进行测量时，定时器均未停止且未失效。
可以理解的，本实施例执行上述步骤S801-S810的过程中，终端设备中一直存储两个或两个以上测量配置，在终端设备移出两个或两个以上测量配置包括的有效区域时，终端设备中存储的两个或两个以上测量配置并未释放。
