Description

一种能力信息发送方法、接收方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2019年11月19日提交中国专利局、申请号为201911132845.5、申请名称为“一种能力信息发送方法、接收方法及装置”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种能力信息发送方法、接收方法及装置。
背景技术
终端设备可能从一个小区的覆盖范围移动到另一个小区的覆盖范围，为了保证终端设备的业务连续性和通信质量，需要终端设备进行小区重选(reselection)或者小区切换(handover)。小区重选和小区切换都需要终端设备进行小区测量，小区测量的种类包括同频测量、异频/异系统测量。
终端设备可以采用需要gap测量的测量方式进行小区测量，也可以采用不需要gap测量的测量方式进行小区测量。例如，某些终端设备支持较多不同频段的载波聚合(carrier aggregation，CA)组合，具有多个接收通路，那么这些终端设备具备在不需要配置gap的情况下进行异频/异系统测量的能力，可以采用不需要gap测量的测量方式进行小区测量。
通常系统支持的频段和CA组合较多，需要测量的异频/异系统频段也较多，基于成本考虑，终端设备通常只能支持有限个数的频段组合。终端设备可以向基站上报测量能力以指示哪些测量频段组合需要测量gap，哪些测量频段组合不需要测量gap。
由于系统支持的频段和CA组合较多，所以用于终端设备上报测量能力的消息，也称为测量能力上报消息的信息量较大，上报容易失败，即上报成功率较低。例如，终端设备的频段数为N，终端设备支持的CA组合数为L，终端设备支持的异系统频段数为M，那么终端设备需要上报的信息比特数为(N+L)*(N+M)。且新无线(new radio，NR)系统相对于长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统来说，支持更多的频段和CA组合等，如果继续沿用LTE的测量能力上报消息，显然信息量更大，上报成功率更低。
发明内容
本申请提供一种能力信息发送方法、接收方法及装置，用于提高终端设备上报测量能力的成功率。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供了一种能力信息发送方法，该方法的执行主体可以是终端设备，也可以是应用于终端设备中的芯片。下面以执行主体是终端设备为例进行描述。该方法包括：接收来自网络设备的第一消息，所述第一消息用于查询所述终端设备的测量能力；向所述网络设备发送第二消息，所述第二消息包括第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述第二消息包括所述终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息。
第二方面，本申请实施例提供了一种能力信息接收方法，该方法的执行主体可以是网 络设备，也可以是应用于网络设备中的芯片。下面以执行主体是网络设备为例进行描述。该方法包括：向终端设备发送第一消息，所述第一消息用于查询所述终端设备的测量能力；接收来自所述终端设备的第二消息，所述第二消息包括第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述第二消息包括所述终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息。
在上述第一方面与第二方面的实施例中，终端设备可以向网络设备上报终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息，并通过第一指示信息告知网络设备，相较于目前上报终端设备在所有频段的测量能力信息来说，显然终端设备上报的信息量较少，以尽量提高终端设备上报的成功率。可见，通过本申请实施例提供的方法，应用于支持较多频段和CA组合的场景，可以保证测量能力信息上报的成功率。
在上述第一方面与第二方面在的实施例中，第一消息包括的内容可以为下述任一种：
一个示例，所述第一消息包括所述终端设备在当前所在的主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量配置信息。采用这种方案，网络设备可以确定需要终端设备上报哪些频段的测量能力信息，例如终端设备在当前的主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息，这样终端设备根据第一消息可以确定第二消息，即只上报终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息，减少上报的信息量。同时，由于主小区的信号质量通常最优，所以还可以尽量保证上报测量能力信息的成功率。
另一个示例，所述第一消息包括所述终端设备在当前所在的主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量配置信息，以及所述终端设备在与所述主小区相关的至少一个辅小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量配置信息。采用这种方案，与上述方案类似，网络设备可以确定需要终端设备上报哪些频段的测量能力信息，例如除了终端设备在当前的主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息，还可以上报终端设备在至少一个辅小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息，这样终端设备只需上报终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息，减少上报的信息量。同时，至少一个辅小区与主小区相关，例如可以是后续终端设备将要切换至的小区，以尽量保证后续终端设备进行小区切换的稳定性。
在上述第一方面与第二方面在的实施例中，第二消息包括的内容可以为下述任一种：
一个示例，所述第二消息还可以包括所述终端设备在当前所在的主小区的全部频段或部分频段测量能力信息。
另一个示例，所述第二消息还可以包括所述终端设备在当前所在的主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息，以及所述终端设备在与所述主小区相关的至少一个辅小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息。
例如第二消息可以根据第一消息来确定，以根据网络设备的实际需求上报测量能力信息，同时只上报终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息，减少上报的信息量，提高上报的成功率。
在上述第一方面与第二方面在的实施例中，所述测量能力信息可以是预定义的，其中，所述测量能力信息包括：所述终端设备在当前所在的主小区的全部频段或部分频段测量能力信息；或者所述终端设备在当前所在的主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息，以及所述终端设备在与所述主小区相关的至少一个辅小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息。这种方式下，第二消息可以只包括第一指示信息，占用的比特数更少，上报的信息量也更少，进一步提高上报的测量能力信息的成功率。
在上述第一方面与第二方面在的实施例中，至少一个辅小区的选择策略有多种，可以 包括如下任意一种：所述至少一个辅小区的信号强度高于全部辅小区中除所述至少一个辅小区之外的其余辅小区的信号强度。或者所述至少一个辅小区的数据传输的优先级高于全部辅小区中除所述至少一个辅小区之外的其余辅小区的数据传输的优先级。或者所述至少一个辅小区包括所述终端设备从所述主小区将要切换到的小区。
在该方案中，至少一个辅小区可以是与主小区相关的小区，例如，至少一个辅小区的信号强度较高，或者数据传输的优先级较高，又或者是网络设备预判确定的包括终端设备从主小区之后要切换到的小区，从而在减少上报信息量的同时，可以使得终端设备保留较好的切换能力，确保终端设备在进行小区切换时不会发生小区重选或重新接入。
在上述第一方面与第二方面在的实施例中，部分频段的选择策略也有多种，可以包括如下任意一种：所述部分频段的信号强度高于或等于所述全部频段中除所述部分频段之外的其余频段的信号强度。或者所述部分频段的数据传输的优先级高于所述全部频段中除所述部分频段之外的其余频段的数据传输的优先级。或者所述部分频段包括所述终端设备从当前频段将要切换至的频段。
与至少一个辅小区的选择策略类似，部分频段也是优先选择信号强度较高，或者数据传输优先级较高，又或者是终端设备后续将要切换到的频段，以减少上报信息量。同时，可以确保终端设备在进行小区切换时不会发生小区重选或重新接入，保障通信的稳定性。
在上述第一方面与第二方面在的实施例中，所述第二消息还可以包括用于指示是否需要测量gap的指示信息。在该方案中，第二消息可以包括用于指示是否需要测量间隙gap的指示信息，可以支持NR系统中不需要测量gap的测量能力信息，且兼容LTE系统的是否需要测量gap的上报。
在上述第一方面与第二方面在的实施例中，所述部分频段可以但不限于包括聚合载波CA、4G无线接入网与5G无线接入网的双连接EN-DC支持的频段、5G无线接入网与4G无线接入网的双连接NE-DC支持的频段和独立组网SA下的CA中的至少一种。
在实际应用中，部分频段可以指示如上的几种情况中的一种或多种，具体选择哪种可通过网络设备配置，或通过协议规定。这样终端设备上报如上述的部分频段，不需要上报所有频段，减少上报的信息量。
第三方面，提供了一种通信装置，有益效果可以参见第一方面描述，在此不再赘述，该通信装置具有实现上述第一方面方法实施例中的行为的功能。所述功能可以通过硬件实现，也可以通过硬件执行相应的软件实现。所述硬件或软件包括一个或多个与上述功能相对应的模块。在一个可能的设计中，所述通信装置包括处理单元和收发单元，其中，所述处理单元用于生成所述收发单元要发送和/或接收的消息；所述收发单元用于：接收来自网络设备的第一消息，所述第一消息用于查询所述通信装置的测量能力；向所述网络设备发送第二消息，所述第二消息包括第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述第二消息包括所述通信装置在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息。这些模块可以执行上述第一方面方法示例中的相应功能，具体参见方法示例中的详细描述，此处事不再赘述。

在本申请实施例中，终端设备可以向网络设备上报终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息，并通过第一指示信息告知网络设备，相较于目前上报终端设备在所有频段的测量能力信息来说，显然终端设备上报的信息量较少，以尽量提高终端设备上报的成功率。可见，通过本申请实施例提供的方法，应用于支持较多频段和CA组合的场景，可以保证测量能力信息上报的成功率。

其中，网络侧设备可以是能和用户设备通信的设备，也称为网络设备。网络设备可以是接入网设备，接入网设备也可以称为无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)设备，是一种为终端设备提供无线通信功能的设备。接入网设备例如包括但不限于：5G中的下一代基站(generation nodeB，gNB)、演进型节点B(evolved node B，eNB)、基带单元(baseband unit，BBU)、收发点(transmitting and receiving point，TRP)、发射点(transmitting point，TP)、未来移动通信系统中的基站或WiFi系统中的接入点等。接入网设备还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network，CRAN)场景下的无线控制器、集中单元(centralized unit，CU)，和/或分布单元(distributed unit,DU)，或者网络设备可以为中继站、车载设备以及未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
用户设备，也称为终端装置或者终端设备，包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，例如可以包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的处理设备。该终端装置可以经无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)与核心网进行通信，与RAN交换语音和/或数据。该终端装置可以包括用户设备(user equipment，UE)、无线终端装置、移动终端装置、设备到设备通信(device-to-device，D2D)终端装置、V2X终端装置、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine/machine-type communications，M2M/MTC)终端装置、物联网(internet of things，IoT)终端装置、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)，移动站(mobile station)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point，AP)、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、飞行器(如无人机、热气球、民航客机等)或用户装备(user device)等。例如，可以包括移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)，具有移动终端装置的计算机，便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的移动装置等。例如，个人通信业务(personal communication service，PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol，SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、等设备。还包括受限设备，例如功耗较低的设备，或存储能力有限的设备，或计算能力有限的设备等。例如包括条码、射频识别(radio frequency identification，RFID)、传感器、全球定位系统(global positioning system，GPS)、激光扫描器等信息传感设备。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，放置或安装在车辆上的车载装置还可以包括可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上，或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设 备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备，更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能，例如：智能手表或智能眼镜等，以及只专注于某一类应用功能，需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用，如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
此外，本申请实施例还可以适用于面向未来的其他通信技术。本申请描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请的技术方案，并不构成对本申请提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本申请提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
相较于LTE系统只有RRC_IDLE和RRC_CONNECTED两种RRC状态，NR系统引入了一个新状态(RRC INACTIVE)，用以应对低时延低功耗的需求。即NR系统支持RRC支持三种状态，这三种状态分别为连接(RRC_CONNECTED)态，去激活(RRC_INACTIVE)态，空闲(RRC_IDLE)态。这三种状态之间的转换如图2所示，UE处于空闲态可以建立RRC连接，转至连接态，并通过释放RRC连接回退至空闲态。当处于连接态的UE处于低需求状态时，可以延迟释放RRC连接转至去激活态，并通过释放RRC连接回退至空闲态。
如图3所示为终端设备在小区1、小区2、小区3移动的示意图，由于终端设备的移动性，终端设备可能从一个小区的覆盖范围移动到另一个小区的覆盖范围。为了保证终端设备的业务连续性和通信质量，需要终端设备进行小区重选(reselection)或者小区切换(handover)。终端设备通过在具有不同的覆盖范围的小区间重选和切换，从而获得无线网络持续不断的服务。小区重选和小区切换都需要终端设备进行小区测量，小区测量的种类包括同频测量、异频/异系统测量。例如根据终端设备与网络设备之间RRC状态的不同，当终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态，终端设备和网络设备之间没有RRC连接。当终端设备驻留的小区的信号质量低于一定门限时，终端设备根据网络设备在系统消息中配置的同频、异频和/或异系统邻区信息，测量驻留小区和邻区的信号质量，判断邻区的信号质量是否满足小区重选条件。如果邻区的信号质量满足小区重选条件，则终端设备在邻区驻留。当终端设备处于连接态，终端设备和网络设备之间存在RRC连接，网络设备通过RRC信令配置终端设备进行同频、异频和/或异系统邻区测量。终端设备将服务小区和邻区的信号质量测量结果通过RRC信令上报网络设备，网络设备再根据当终端设备处于测量结果将终端设备切换到信号质量更好的小区上。因此无论是空闲态和去激活态的小区重选，还是连接态的小区切换，都是基于终端设备对服务小区和邻区的信号质量测量结果。
对于连接态的异频和/或异系统邻区测量，根据终端设备的能力，终端设备可以采用需要间隙(gap)测量的测量方式，也可以采用不需要gap测量的测量方式对异频和/或异系统邻区进行测量。如果终端设备有多套射频通路，能够支持在服务小区上收发信号时同时在异频或异系统邻区上接收信号，则终端设备支持不需要gap测量的测量方式测量异频或异系统邻区的信号；否则，终端设备采用不需要gap测量的测量方式测量异频或异系统邻区的信号。终端设备在gap内停止服务小区上的信号收发，将射频通路调整至异频或异系统频点上，接收异频或异系统邻区的信号。网络设备通过RRC信令半静态配置gap。
请参见图4，为gap的一种配置示意，主要由3个参数构成，这3个参数分别是测量时隙重复周期(measurement gap repetition period，MGRP)，用于配置gap周期；测量时隙长度(measurement gap length，MGL)，用于配置gap的长度；测量偏移(gapOffset)，用 于配置gap的起始位置。根据这3个参数，可确定gap起始在满足以下条件的系统帧号(system frame number，SFN)和子帧(subframe)上：
SFN mod T＝FLOOR(gapOffset/10)；
subframe＝gapOffset mod 10；
T＝MGRP/10；
以上SFN和subframe为主小区(primary cell，PCell)的SFN和subframe。MGL最大为6ms。
对于空闲态或去激活态的异频和/或异系统邻区测量，由于终端设备不需要在驻留小区上收发数据，因此可以不需要配置测量窗。
对NR邻区的测量可基于同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block，SSB)，但由于SSB信号设计的特殊性，若采用需要测量gap的测量方式执行连接态异频或异系统邻区测量)，网络设备需要配置准确的gap位置，以包括邻区的SSB。
准确的gap位置，需要测量gap的时域位置参考的是PCell的定时，而邻区SSB的时域位置是按邻区定时发送，为了配置正确的gap位置，网络设备需要知道PCell和NR邻区之间的定时偏差，从而确定NR邻区的SSB的SFN和子帧号对应PCell的SFN和子帧号。PCell和NR邻区之间的定时偏差可以通过终端设备的系统帧号和帧定时偏差(SFN and frame timing difference，SFTD)测量获得。SFTD测量结果包括SFN的偏差和帧边界的定时偏差。
目前协议上支持(EUTRA-NR Dual Connectivity，EUTRA-NR双连接)，也称为EN-DC下的LTE PCell和NR PSCell之间的SFTD测量，支持(NR-EUTRA Dual Connectivity，NR-EUTRA双连接)，也称为NE-DC下的NR PCell和LTE PSCell之间的SFTD测量，也支持(NR Dual Connectivity，NR双连接)也称为NR-DC下的NR PCell和NR PSCell之间的SFTD测量，以及支持非DC(Dual Connectivity，双连接)下的LTE PCell和NR邻区之间的SFTD测量。
SFTD测量时，终端设备需要接收PCell之外的另一被测小区的信号，以获取该小区的定时信息。在DC下，由于终端设备能够支持在PCell和PSCell上同时工作，知道任意时刻PCell和PSCell的定时信息，因此SFTD测量不会存在困难。而非DC下LTE PCell和NR邻区之间的SFTD测量，如果终端设备的射频通路不支持在PCell上收发信号的同时，在NR邻区上接收信号，则SFTD测量存在一定困难。为此，目前协议支持以下两种方式：需要gap的SFTD测量和连接态非连续接收(connected discontinuous reception，CDRX)非激活期的SFTD测量。
通常来说，终端设备在测量间隙(measurement gap)内，先探测其他小区的同步信号，根据其他小区的同步信号和其他小区取得同步，再对其他小区发送的参考信号进行相关测量，从而完成对其他小区的测量。但是测量gap内中断原服务区数据的接收和发送，会对吞吐量造成较大影响。目前LTE的终端设备可以支持很多不同频段的CA组合，具有多个接收通路，具备在不需要配置gap的情况下直接测量异频/异系统的能力。这样就可以不打断原服务区的数据传输，对终端原服务区的服务不造成影响。但是LTE支持的频段、CA组合很多，需要测量的异频/异系统频段也很多，基于成本考虑，终端设备通常只能支持有限个数的频段组合，而不能支持所有频段组合下不需要测量gap测量异频/异系统。
目前协议规定，LTE可以通过信元“interFreqNeedForGaps”/“interRAT-NeedForGaps” 在能力消息中的上报哪些测量频段组合需要测量gap，哪些测量频段组合不需要测量gap。其中，服务区的频带(band)由支持单band的信元“bandListEUTRA”指示或由支持CA的信元“bandCombinationListEUTRA”指示；目标测量异频band由信元“interFreqBandList”指示，目标测量异系统band由信元“interRAT-BandList”指示。通过1比特来指示服务区band/CA组合，测量异频频段或异频频段是否需要测量gap，例如1比特的取值为1(True)表示需要gap测量，1比特的取值为0(False)表示不需要gap测量。
示例性的，如表1所示，为终端设备上报的测量能力的一种示意，网络设备可以根据表1确定测量时是否配置gap。
表1-测量能力信息的示意
Figure PCTCN2020128099-appb-000001
由于系统支持的频段和CA组合较多，所以用于终端设备上报测量能力的消息，也称为测量能力上报消息的信息量较大，容易失败，即成功率较低。例如，终端设备的频段数为N，终端设备支持的CA组合数为L，终端设备支持的异系统频段数为M，那么终端设备需要上报的信息比特数为(N+L)*(N+M)。例如目前终端设备典型可支持500个CA组合，20个异频band测量，10个异系统测量，则需要上报的消息量为15600bit，信息量较大，上报过程容易出错。
目前测量能力的消息中不支持NR的测量gap的能力上报。NR支持更多的频段、支持EN-DC/NE-DC、NR CA等更多的频段组合。需要测量NR异频、LTE异系统，NSA下还需要测量2G、3G异系统，需要测量的异频、异系统更多。NR也需要上报各测量频段组合否需要测量gap进行测量。
NR系统支持的频段组合和所需要测量的频段组合相对LTE更多，终端设备更难支持所有频段组合下不配置gap测量异频异系统，需要类似LTE分频段上报是否需要配置测量gap的能力。由于NR系统相对于LTE系统来说，支持更多的频段和CA组合等，如果继续沿用LTE的测量能力上报消息，显然信息量更大，成功率更低。
鉴于此，本申请实施例提供了一种能力信息上报方法，该方法中，终端设备可以向网络设备上报终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息，相较于目前上报终端设备在所有频段的测量能力信息来说，显然终端设备上报的信息量较少，以尽量提高终端设备上报的成功率。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以用于无线通信系统，例如4.5G系统或5G系统，以 及基于LTE或者NR的进一步演进系统，以及未来的无线通信系统或其他类似的通信系统等。
接下来结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
本申请实施例提供一种能力信息发送方法或接收方法，在下文的介绍过程中，以该方法应用于图1所示的网络架构为例。另外，该方法可由两个通信设备执行，这两个通信设备例如为第一通信装置和第二通信装置。其中，第一通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置，或者第一通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置(例如芯片系统)。对于第二通信装置也是同样，第二通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置，或者第二通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置(例如芯片系统)。且对于第一通信装置和第二通信装置的实现方式均不做限制，例如第一通信装置和第二通信装置都是终端设备，或者第一通信装置是终端设备，第二通信装置是能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置，等等。其中，网络设备例如为基站。
请参考图5，为本申请实施例提供的能力信息发送方法或接收方法的流程图，在下文的介绍中，以该方法由网络设备和终端设备执行为例，也就是，以第一通信装置是终端设备、第二通信装置是网络设备为例。需要说明的是，本申请实施例只是以通过网络设备和终端设备执行为例，并不限制于这种场景。
S501、网络设备向终端设备发送第一消息，终端设备接收该第一消息，该第一消息用于查询终端设备的测量能力。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以支持更多的频段，例如支持EN-DC、NE-DC、NR系统下的CA，LTE系统下的CA等更多的频段组合。所以当终端设备支持较多频段组合的情况下，网络设备需要查询终端设备的测量能力，以根据终端设备的测量能力，为终端设备配置进行小区测量的测量信息。具体的，网络设备可以通过第一消息查询终端设备的测量能力信息。示例性的，网络设备可以向终端设备发送第一消息，该第一消息可以是测量配置消息。
例如，当终端设备进行注册，初始接入网络时，网络设备可以向终端设备发送第一消息，用于查询终端设备的测量能力，例如查询终端设备是否需要测量gap。又例如，终端设备切换到新小区，网络设备查询终端设备是否上报过该新小区相关频段的测量能力，如果终端设备没有上报过，那么网络设备可以向终端设备发送第一消息，以查询终端设备的测量能力。
S502、终端设备向网络设备发送第二消息，网络设备接收该第二消息，该第二消息可以包括第一指示信息，该第一指示信息可以用于指示该第二消息包括终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息。
终端设备接收第一消息，可以根据第一消息向网络设备上报网络设备需要的测量能力信息。由于NR系统支持更多的频段组合，如果终端设备上报全部频段的测量能力信息，显然信息量较大，容易失败。为了尽量保证终端设备上报测量能力信息的成功率，第一消息可以指示网络设备需要查询的是终端设备在哪些频段的测量能力信息，从而不需要终端设备上报全部频段的测量能力信息。
示例性的，终端设备可以通过第二消息向网络设备上报测量能力信息，且可以通过第 一指示信息告知网络设备，终端设备上报的测量能力信息是终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息。
但是目前针对网络设备如何指示终端设备上报哪些频段的测量能力信息，还没有定义。本申请实施例在NR系统支持更多频段组合的场景下，网络设备通过第一消息可以明确需要终端设备上报哪些频段的测量信息。相对的，终端设备根据第一消息也可以明确上报哪些频段的测量信息。示例性的，第一消息和第二消息分别可以包括以下几种信息：
第一种情况，第一消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量配置信息，相对的，第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息。
由于主小区的信号质量通常最优，所以终端设备上报主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，可以尽量保证上报测量能力信息的成功率。再者，由于终端设备上报的是主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，而不是终端设备在所有小区的所有频段的测量能力信息，显然终端设备上报的信息量较少。可见，在通信系统支持更多频段组合的场景下，能够保证终端设备上报测量能力信息的成功率。
应理解，当第一消息包括终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量配置信息，相对的，第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的部分频段的测量能力信息。即终端设备可以上报更少的测量能力信息，以尽量保证上报测量能力信息的成功率。
第二种情况，第一消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的部分频段的测量配置信息，相对的，第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的部分频段的测量能力信息。与第一种情况的不同之处在于，为了进一步保证终端设备上报测量能力信息的成功率，网络设备可以指示终端设备上报在主小区的部分频段的测量能力信息。
示例性的，部分频段可以满足如下条件的一种或多种：
(1)部分频段的信号强度高于或等于全部频段中除部分频段之外的其余频段的信号强度。
本申请实施例可以根据信号强度从全部频段中选择部分频段，例如终端设备可以优先上报信号强度较强的频段的测量能力信息。例如，终端设备确定上报一个频段，那么可以选择信号强度最强的频段，即上报信号强度最强的频段的测量能力信息。又例如，终端设备确定上报多个频段，那么终端设备可以根据信号强度的强弱依次从全部频段中选择这多个频段，这多个频段的信号强度高于其余频段的信号强度。采用该方案，由于信号强度较强，所以通信质量较高，可以尽量保证上报测量能力信息的稳定性。
(2)部分频段的数据传输的优先级高于全部频段中除部分频段之外的其余频段的数据传输的优先级。
本申请实施例也可以根据数据传输的优先级从全部频段中选择部分频段，例如终端设备可以优先上报数据传输的优先级较高的频段的测量能力信息。例如，终端设备确定上报一个频段，那么可以选择数据传输的优先级最高的频段，即上报数据传输的优先级最高的频段的测量能力信息。又例如，终端设备确定上报多个频段，那么终端设备可以根据数据传输的优先级的高低依次从全部频段中选择这多个频段，这多个频段的数据传输的优先级高于其余频段的数据传输的优先级。采用该方案，由于数据传输的优先级较高，所以可以尽量保证上报测量能力信息的及时性。
(3)部分频段包括终端设备从当前频段将要切换至的频段。
本申请实施例也可以根据切换预判策略来选择部分频段，即预先判断终端设备可能要 切换到的频段，优先上报终端设备后续可能要切换到的频段的测量能力信息，以确保终端设备在进行小区切换时不会发生小区重选或重新接入，保障通信的稳定性。
应理解，终端设备可以根据信号强度、数据传输的优先级和切换预判策略中的至少两种因素来确定部分频段。例如，如果存在信号强度相同的两个频段，那么终端设备确定上报其中的一个频段的测量能力信息，那么终端设备可以选择上报这两个频段中的数据传输优先级较高的频段的测量能力信息。
在一些实施例中，部分频段可以但不限于包括聚合载波CA、4G无线接入网与5G无线接入网的双连接EN-DC支持的频段、5G无线接入网与4G无线接入网的双连接NE-DC支持的频段和独立组网SA下的CA中的至少一种。具体部分频段包括哪种频段可通过网络设备配置，或通过协议规定。这样终端设备上报如上述的部分频段，不需要上报所有频段，减少上报的信息量。
第三种情况，第一消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量配置信息，以及终端设备在与主小区相关的至少一个辅小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量配置信息。
这种情况下，例如第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在信号强度最强的一个辅小区的全部频段的测量能力信息。或者，第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在信号强度最强的一个辅小区的部分频段的测量能力信息。或者，第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的部分频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在信号强度最强的一个辅小区的全部频段的测量能力信息。第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的部分频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在信号强度最强的一个辅小区的部分频段的测量能力信息。
由于第二消息可以包括终端设备在主小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在与主小区相关的至少一个辅小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息。即终端设备只需上报终端设备在所有频段中的部分频段的测量能力信息，减少上报的信息量。同时，至少一个辅小区与主小区相关，例如可以是后续终端设备将要切换至的小区，以尽量保证后续终端设备进行小区切换的稳定性。
其中，示例性的，至少一个辅小区可以满足如下条件的一种或多种：
(1)至少一个辅小区的信号强度高于全部辅小区中除至少一个辅小区之外的其余辅小区的信号强度。
(2)至少一个辅小区的数据传输的优先级高于全部辅小区中除至少一个辅小区之外的其余辅小区的数据传输的优先级。
(3)至少一个辅小区包括终端设备从主小区将要切换到的小区。
在本申请实施例中，至少一个辅小区的选择条件与部分频段的选择条件类似，即本申请实施例可以根据信号强度、数据传输的优先级和切换预判策略中的至少两种因素从所有辅小区中选择至少一个辅小区。
例如，终端设备可以上报终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在信号强度最强的一个辅小区的全部频段的测量能力信息。或者，终端设备可以上报终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在数据传输的优先级最高的一个辅小区的全部频段的测量能力信息。或者，终端设备可以上报终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在将要切换至的一个辅小区的全部频段的测量能力信 息。应理解，如上仅是列举仅是示意，本申请实施例不限如上的几种列举，具体可以参见上述部分频段的选择的介绍，这里不再赘述。
应理解，本申请实施例辅小区的选择和部分频段的选择可以结合，示例性的，终端设备可以上报终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在信号强度最强的一个辅小区的数据传输优先级最高的频段的测量能力信息。或者，终端设备可以上报终端设备在主小区的全部频段的测量能力信息，以及终端设备在信号强度最强的一个辅小区的，且终端设备将要切换至的频段的测量能力信息，等等，这里就不一一列举了。
在本申请实施例中，第二消息可以包括信元“interFreqNeedForGaps”/“interRAT-NeedForGaps”，信元“interFreqNeedForGaps”/“interRAT-NeedForGaps”指示的内容即为终端设备上报的测量能力信息。例如，信元“interFreqNeedForGaps”可以指示终端设备上报的部分频段的测量能力信息，信元“interRAT-NeedForGaps”可以指示终端设备上报的主小区或者至少一个辅小区的全部频段或部分频段的测量能力信息。可以更好地与目前协议定义的测量能力信息兼容。
另外，第二消息还可以包括用于指示是否需要测量gap的指示信息，可以应用于NR系统中，可以支持NR系统中不需要测量gap的测量能力信息，且兼容LTE系统的是否需要测量gap的上报。
需要说明的是，测量能力信息可以是预定义的，这种情况下，第二消息可以不包括测量能力信息，通过第一指示信息告知网络设备，终端设备的测量能力信息。即如图5所示，S502和S503是相互可以替换的步骤，当系统预定义了测量能力信息，那么图5可以执行步骤S502，当系统没有预定义测量能力信息，那么图5可以执行步骤S503。应理解，图5以虚线示意S503只是为了与S502区分。
示例性的，如表2所示，为预定义的测量能力的一种示意，网络设备可以根据表2确定测量时是否配置gap。其中，表2以终端设备上报在主小区的测量能力信息，以及在信号强度最强的辅小区的测量能力信息为例。表2中，假设band1对应主小区，band3对应信号强度最强的辅小区。
表2-测量能力信息的示意
Figure PCTCN2020128099-appb-000002
当系统预定义或者预配置了测量能力信息，需要gap测量的能力和不需要gap测量的 能力可以与频段顺序对应，如表2所示。从而网络设备可以根据表2获知终端设备的测量能力信息。
网络设备可以记录终端设备上报的测量能力信息，该测量能力信息包括是否需要测量gap的能力。当终端设备重新接入或切换到主小区的频段相同频段的小区后，网络设备可以不再查询该终端设备的测量能力。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备上报的测量能力信息可以是终端设备在部分频段上的测量能力信息，例如终端设备上报的测量能力信息可以包括终端设备在主小区和部分辅小区的测量能力信息，不包括与该主小区和部分辅小区不相关的频段的测量能力信息，减少了上报的信息量，可以保证上报测量能力信息的成功率。同时，因为终端设备在当前小区的服务区频段一定包括主小区的频段，不会出现与主小区不相关的频段，因此，即使终端设备上报的测量能力信息不包括与该主小区和部分辅小区不相关的频段的测量能力信息，并不影响终端设备在该小区的测量。同时，保留部分辅小区的测量能力信息有利于对终端设备进行移动性管理。
