随着通信技术的发展,很多终端设备(如手机)都具备支持多个用户身份模块(subscriber identification module,SIM)卡的功能。以终端设备支持两个SIM卡为例,有多种可能的实现方式,例如双卡单待(dual SIM single standby,DSSS)模式、双卡双待(dual SIM dual standby,DSDS)模式、或双卡双激活(dual SIM dual active,DSDA)模式。终端设备在进行小区重选或者小区切换时,需要对邻区进行测量,如果终端设备上有多个SIM卡,则每个SIM卡都有一套测量流程,造成一定的信令开销和资源浪费。因此,如何对多卡终端设备进行通信参数测量是一项亟待解决的问题。

另外,在本申请实施例中,接入网设备是接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的设备,或者说,是将终端设备接入到无线网络的RAN节点。例如,作为示例而非限定,作为接入网设备,可以列举:gNB、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU),或无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wifi)接入点(access point,AP)等。在一种网络结构中,网络设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit,CU)节点、或分布单元(distributed unit,DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备、或者控制面CU节点(CU-CP节点)和用户面CU节点(CU-UP节点)以及DU节点的RAN设备。
接入网设备为小区提供服务,终端设备通过该小区使用的传输资源(例如,频域资源,或者说,频谱资源)与接入网设备进行通信,该小区可以是接入网设备(例如基站)对应的小区,小区可以属于宏基站,也可以属于小小区(small cell)对应的基站,这里的小小区可以包括:城市小区(metro cell)、微小区(micro cell)、微微小区(pico cell)、毫微微小区(femto cell)等,这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点,适用于提供 高速率的数据传输服务。
图1示出了本申请实施例的一种应用场景100的示意图。在图1中包括一个接入网设备110和一个终端设备120。其中,该接入网设备110例如工作在演进的通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入(evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access,E-UTRA)系统中,或者工作在NR系统中,或者工作在下一代通信系统或其他通信系统中,接入网设备110和终端设备120之间可以通过Uu接口通信。在本申请实施例中,一个接入网设备可以服务于多个终端设备,图1只是以其中的一个终端设备为例。
图1中的接入网设备例如为基站。其中,接入网设备在不同的系统对应不同的设备,例如在4G系统中可以对应eNB,在5G系统中对应5G中的接入网设备,例如gNB。本申请实施例所提供的技术方案也可以应用于未来的移动通信系统中,因此图1中的接入网设备也可以对应未来的移动通信系统中的接入网设备。图1以接入网设备是基站为例,实际上参考前文的介绍,接入网设备还可以是路边单元(Roadside Unit,RSU)等设备。
应理解,图1所示的通信系统中还可以包括更多的网络节点,例如其他终端设备或接入网设备,图1所示的通信系统中包括的接入网设备或者终端设备可以是上述各种形式的接入网设备或者终端设备。本申请实施例在图中不再一一示出。
本申请实施例中,终端设备支持至少一个用户身份,例如第一用户身份和/或第二用户身份。这里,“用户身份”(例如第一用户身份或第二用户身份等)为逻辑概念。例如,“用户身份”可以对应SIM卡或签约用户信息或虚拟SIM卡或用户标识(如国际移动用户标识(international mobile subscriber identity,IMSI)或临时移动用户标识(temporary mobile subscriber identity,TMSI)等)。从网络侧的角度来看,不同的“用户身份”在逻辑上对应网络侧服务的不同通信实体,比如4G和5G系统中的终端设备。例如一个支持两个用户身份的终端设备,对于网络侧来说,可以看做两个通信实体。再例如,“用户身份”对应SIM卡或签约用户信息时,网络侧会将支持不同SIM卡或不同签约用户信息的两个终端设备识别为两个不同的通信实体,也会将支持多个不同SIM卡或多个签约用户信息的同一终端设备识别为多个不同的通信实体,即使在实际上,支持多个不同SIM卡或多个签约用户信息的终端设备只是一个物理实体。
示例性地,SIM卡可以理解为终端设备接入移动网络的钥匙,为了便于描述,本申请实施例中将SIM卡以及其演进都统称为SIM卡。例如SIM卡可以是全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communications,GSM)数字移动电话用户的身份识别卡,用于存储用户的身份识别码和密钥,并支持GSM系统对用户的鉴权。又例如,SIM卡也可以是全球用户识别卡(universal subscriber identity module,USIM),也可以称为升级SIM卡。本申请实施例中将主要以“用户身份”对应SIM卡为例进行说明。
在本申请实施例中,将终端设备安装一个SIM卡,认为是终端设备支持一个用户身份。例如,安装两个SIM卡的终端设备,就支持两个用户身份。也就是说,SIM卡和用户身份是一一对应的关系。
作为示例,当前越来越多的智能手机支持同时插入两张SIM卡,例如,一张SIM卡用于私人业务,另一张SIM卡用于工作;或者,一张SIM卡用于数据业务,另一张SIM卡用于语音业务。其中,一个手机中的两个SIM卡可以属于同一移动运营商,也可以属于不同的移动运营商;可以属于同一制式(制式包括NR,LTE,宽带码分多址(wideband  code division multiple access,WCDMA),时分多址(time division multiple access,TDMA)2000,或GSM等),也可以属于不同制式。
根据终端设备的收发能力的不同,双SIM卡的终端设备可以具有以下三种模式中的一种:
被动(passive)模式,或者也称为DSSS模式:尽管能插入两张SIM卡,但是同一个时间只有一个能使用。DSDS模式,两个SIM卡共享一套收发机,对于空闲(idle)态,收发机需要监听两张卡的寻呼消息。例如收发机可以采用时分复用(time division multiple,TDM)方式来进行监听。DSDA模式,两个SIM卡使用各自的收发机。两个SIM卡可以同时处于RRC连接态,即终端设备可以同时接收和发送两个SIM卡的数据。
下面介绍一下终端设备的上述3种无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)状态。如上文中所述,该3种RRC状态分别为:RRC连接态(connected态)、RRC空闲态(idle态)和非激活态(inactive态)。其中,非激活态也可以称为去活动态或去激活态等。
RRC连接态(或,也可以简称为连接态。在本文中,“连接态”和“RRC连接态”,是同一概念,两种称呼可以互换):终端设备与网络建立了RRC连接,可以进行数据传输。
RRC空闲态(或,也可以简称为空闲态。在本文中,“空闲态”和“RRC空闲态”,是同一概念,两种称呼可以互换):终端设备没有与网络建立RRC连接,基站没有存储该终端设备的上下文。如果终端设备需要从空闲态进入RRC连接态,则需要发起RRC连接建立过程。
去活动态:终端设备之前进入了RRC连接态,然后基站释放了RRC连接,但是基站保存了该终端设备的上下文。如果该终端设备需要从去活动态再次进入RRC连接态,则需要发起RRC连接恢复过程(或者称为RRC连接重建立过程)。RRC恢复过程相对于RRC建立过程来说,时延更短,信令开销更小。但是基站需要保存终端设备的上下文,会占用基站的存储开销。
终端设备在移动过程中,从一个小区的覆盖范围可以转移到另一个小区的覆盖范围,终端设备会进行小区的重新选择(Reselection)或小区切换(Handover)。小区的重新选择(Reselection)主要由终端设备本身实现,终端设备通过无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,RRM)测量来判断自己是否在小区覆盖范围内,以及接收来自多个小区基站的参考信号,计算信号的功率,并进行比较和选择。在满足一定的触发条件和接入准则之后,终端设备完成小区重选。
小区切换(Handover)需要接入网设备使用一系列RRM测量配置以及根据终端设备的反馈来配置终端设备。RRM测量结果满足一定条件,将触发测量报告。网络设备在接收到终端设备的测量报告后,可以向终端设备发送一个切换命令,指示终端设备将从一个小区切换到另一个小区。
对于RRC空闲态或非激活态的异频/异系统测量,由于终端设备大部分时间处于空闲状态,不需要在服务小区上收发数据,这些空闲时间可用于异频/异系统测量,因此不要配置测量间隙GAP。
对于RRC连接态的异频/异系统测量,根据终端设备的能力,可以采用需要GAP的测量或不需要GAP的测量。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/异系统邻区上接收信号,则终端设备支持不需要GAP的测量方式;否 则,需要采用需要GAP的测量方式,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/异系统频点上,接收异频/异系统邻区信号。测量GAP由基站配置,在GAP内基站不在服务小区上调度终端设备下行接收和上行发送,因此在GAP内不会导致上下行误码。
越来越多的终端设备(如手机)都具备支持多个用户身份模块(subscriber identification module,SIM)卡的功能。终端设备在进行小区重选或者小区切换时,需要对邻区进行测量,如果终端设备上有多个SIM卡,通常会出现重复测量的情况,如图2所示。图2示出了现有技术中对于同运营商的多卡终端设备的测量流程。有上文所述可知,从网络侧的角度来看,不同的“用户身份”在逻辑上对应网络侧服务的不同通信实体,比如4G和5G系统中的终端设备,即使在实际上,支持多个不同SIM卡或多个签约用户信息的终端设备只是一个物理实体。图2中的UE1和UE2从网络侧看是两个不同的通信实体,但在终端侧,UE1和UE2其实是一个终端设备上的两个用户身份,可以是SIM1和SIM2。网络设备会分别向终端设备发送测量配置消息1和测量配置消息2,终端设备在使用SIM1和SIM2均进行测量后向网络设备反馈测量报告1和测量报告2,由于该两个SIM卡的无线环境一样,因此测量结果有一定的一致性,同时对两张SIM卡进行邻区测量,不仅带来了信令开销和测量功耗,有时还可能会影响数据通信。
有鉴于此,本申请提出了一种多卡终端设备的通信参数测量方法,根据该测量共享模式,对该第一SIM卡进行参数测量得到测量结果,该测量结果适用于该多个SIM卡。由此,避免了对多个SIM卡分别进行测量,减小了测量功耗,减少了对数据通信的影响。

还应理解,在本申请实施例中,以终端设备和接入网设备作为执行方法的执行主体为例,对方法进行说明。作为示例而非限定,执行方法的执行主体也可以是应用于终端设备和接入网设备的芯片、芯片系统、或处理器等。

具体而言,终端设备上的任一SIM卡在建立无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接时,向接入网设备上报终端设备的能力信息,该终端设备的能力信息可以包括以下参数中的任一种或多种:该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡的标识信息,该多个SIM卡中的每个SIM卡支持的DC组合、CA组合,该终端设备支持的MIMO能力以及该终端设备的多个SIM卡在测量异频或异系统时采用的测量模式,该测量模式包括间隙测量或者非间隙测量。其中,该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡均属于同一接入网。
应理解,该终端设备的能力信息除了上文所述的参数以外,可能还包括其他参数,本申请对此不进行任何限定。
还应理解,终端设备可以通过其上装有任一个或多个SIM卡向接入网设备发送上报终端设备的能力信息,例如终端设备可以在主卡和副卡间事先约定,当主卡建立RRC连 接时,主SIM卡向接入网设备上报终端设备的能力信息,副卡建立RRC连接时不需要向接入网设备上报终端设备的能力信息;或者,当副卡建立RRC连接时,副SIM卡向接入网设备上报终端设备的能力信息,主卡建立RRC连接时不需要向接入网设备上报终端设备的能力信息;或者,当主SIM卡和副SIM卡建立RRC连接时,主SIM卡和副SIM卡分别向接入网设备上报终端设备的能力信息。

具体而言,终端设备可以通过其上装有任一个或多个SIM卡向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求,例如终端设备可以在主卡和副卡间事先约定,通过主SIM卡向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求;或者,也可以通过副SIM卡向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求;或者,还可以通过主SIM卡和副SIM卡共同向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求。
应理解,该测量共享策略请求可以包括该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡的标识信息。该测量共享策略请求也可以不包括该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡的标识信息,接入网设备根据终端设备向接入网设备上报的终端设备的能力信息来确定该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡。
还应理解,该测量共享策略请求可以包括该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡的标识信息和预选进行参数测量的SIM卡的标识信息。该预选进行参数测量的SIM卡是该终端设备选择的进行参数测量的SIM卡,接入网设备可以选择该预选进行参数测量的SIM卡为第一SIM卡,也可以选择该非预选进行参数测量的SIM卡为第一SIM卡。其中,该第一SIM卡为该接入网设备确定的进行测量的SIM卡,该第一SIM卡是该终端设备上的主卡或者副卡。
终端设备向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求的时机可以分为以下三种情况:
第一种情况,终端设备可以在RRC连接建立完成时,向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求,此时测量共享策略请求可以包含在终端设备向接入网设备发送的RRC连接建立完成信令中。其中,RRC建立完成时是指主SIM卡或副SIM卡与接入网设备的RRC建立完成时。
第二种情况,终端设备可以在首次测量发起时,向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求。其中,该首次测量发起时是指终端设备在第一次需要对辅载波或异小区、异系统进行测量时,首次测量发生的场景包括但不限于小区重选或小区切换。
第三种情况,终端设备可以在向接入网设备发送首次测量报告时向接入网设备发送测量共享策略请求,该首次测量报告可以包括该测量共享策略请求。
S204,接入网设备接收终端设备发送的测量共享策略请求。
S205,接入网设备根据测量共享判断条件确定该终端设备执行测量共享策略。
具体而言,测量共享判断条件可以是以下条件中的任一种或多种:该接入网设备支持测量共享策略、当前接入网设备数据开销大需要进一步降低数据开销需求。
当接入网设备根据测量共享判断条件确定该终端设备不需要执行测量共享策略时,接入网设备可以不向该终端设备回应任何信息,即接入网设备和终端设备可以正常执行其他数据业务。
应理解,接入网设备也可以不经过任何判断直接确定该终端设备执行测量共享策略, 如接入网设备与终端设备可以约定,当接入网设备接收到终端设备发送的测量共享策略请求时,接入网设备默认确定该终端设备执行测量共享策略。
S206,接入网设备向终端设备发送测量共享策略确认信息。
该测量共享策略确认信息可以包括第一SIM卡的标识信息;或者,该测量共享策略确认信息可以包括第一SIM卡的标识信息和终端设备上支持多个SIM卡的标识信息;或者该测量共享策略确认信息可以包括第一SIM卡的标识信息和终端设备上支持多个SIM卡的标识信息以及指示信息,该指示信息可以是一个比特位,该比特位为1指示执行测量共享策略,该比特位为0指示不执行测量共享策略;或者,该测量共享策略确认信息可以包括第一SIM卡的标识信息和指示信息。
应理解,该测量共享策略确认信息不包括指示信息时表示默认执行测量共享策略。
还应理解,该测量共享策略包括的终端设备上支持多个SIM卡的标识信息可以是该终端设备上的部分SIM卡的标识信息,例如,该终端设备支持3个SIM卡,分别为卡1、卡2和卡3,接入网设备确定在卡1和卡2应用测量共享策略,其中卡2为接入网设备确定的第一SIM卡。
接入网设备可以向终端设备上支持的任一个或多个SIM卡发送测量共享策略确认信息。例如接入网设备可以向终端设备的主卡发送测量共享策略确认信息;或者,接入网设备可以向终端设备的副卡共同发送测量共享策略确认信息;或者,接入网设备可以向终端设备的主卡和副卡共同发送测量共享策略确认信息。
接入网设备可以根据终端设备的多个SIM卡的性能确定第一SIM卡。该SIM卡的性能包括以下参数中的任一个或多个:支持双连接DC组合的数量、支持载波聚合CA组合的数量、支持多入多出MIMO的数量、是否支持非间隙测量和通信数据量。
在一种实现方式中,接入网设备确定支持DC组合数大于第一阈值;和/或,支持CA组合数大于第二阈值;和/或支持MIMO数量大于第三阈值;和/或支持非间隙测量以及通信数据量小于第四阈值的SIM卡为第一SIM卡。
具体而言,根据性能参数从该终端设备包括的多个客户识别模块SIM卡中确定第一SIM卡,可以将DC组合、CA组合、MIMO能力和通信数据量作为条件,将全部满足DC组合数大于第一阈值,CA组合数大于第二阈值,MIMO能力大于第三阈值和通信数据量小于第四阈值的SIM卡确定为第一SIM卡;也可以将至少一个满足DC组合数大于第一阈值,CA组合数大于第二阈值,MIMO能力大于第三阈值和通信数据量小于第四阈值的SIM卡确定为第一SIM卡。
应理解,选择将DC组合、CA组合、MIMO能力和通信数据量作为参数进行SIM卡选择,具备以下优点:第一可以保障UE处于高传输率和高性能的工作模式,确保用户具备较好的使用体验;第二可以避免后期UE由于无法测量导致的如上所述性能回退。
应理解,该性能参数还可以包括其他参数,本申请对此并不进行限定。如,该终端设备从多个客户识别模块SIM卡中确定第一SIM卡时,还可以根据业务需求进行确定。
应理解,该第一SIM卡是接入网设备从终端设备支持的多个客户识别模块SIM卡中确定的具有代表性的SIM卡,该第一不是第一个SIM卡,该第一不应对本申请造成任何限定。
还应理解,该第一SIM卡可以是接入网设备从终端设备支持的多个客户识别模块SIM 卡中确定的一张SIM卡。也可能是该接入网设备从终端设备支持的多个客户识别模块SIM卡中确定的两张SIM卡。由于测一张SIM卡可能由于网络原因或者设备原因,不可避免的带来误差,多测一张卡,对两张卡的测量结果取平均值,可以减小测量误差,提高测量结果。本申请中测量两张SIM卡仅用于举例,对于第一SIM卡的个数本申请并不进行限定。
如上文所述,在终端设备向接入网设备发送的该测量共享策略请求中可以包括该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡的标识信息和预选进行参数测量的SIM卡的标识信息,该预选进行参数测量的SIM卡可以作为该接入网设备选择第一SIM卡的参考,该测量共享策略确认信息中的第一SIM卡可以是该预选进行参数测量的SIM卡或者该第一SIM卡是该多个SIM卡中除该预选进行参数测量的SIM卡以外的SIM卡。
应理解,该步骤S206为可选的,在一种实现方式中,可以没有该步骤S260。即接入网设备根据测量共享判断条件确定该终端设备执行测量共享策略后,并不会向终端设备发送测量共享策略确认信息,而是在在测量发起时接入网设备向终端设备发送的测量配置信息MeasConfig里面进行测量共享策略确认。此时,测量配置信息里面包括原有的测量参数以外还包括测量共享策略确认信息,如,在步骤S208中,接入网设备向终端设备发送第一测量配置信息MeasConfig,该第一测量配置信息还包括测量共享策略确认信息。
S207,终端设备接收接入网设备发送的测量共享策略确认信息。
S208,接入网设备向终端设备发送第一测量配置信息MeasConfig。
当终端设备在进行初始接入、小区重选、小区切换,以及添加辅小区组、添加分量载波时,都需要对目标小区、辅小区组以及分量载波的信号功率进行测量,接入网设备通过测量配置信息MeasConfig配置终端设备的测量目标。
在一种实现方式中,接入网设备可以只向终端设备的第一SIM卡发送第一测量配置信息。这样可以减少发送的测量配置信息,减小网络开销。
在一种实现方式中,接入网设备可以向终端设备支持的多个SIM卡发送第一测量配置信息。其中,该终端设备支持的多个SIM卡可以是测量共享策略确认信息包括的多个SIM卡,也可以是测量共享策略确认信息包括的多个SIM卡以及该终端设备支持的除该测量共享策略确认信息包括的多个SIM卡以外的SIM卡。
例如,该终端设备支持4个SIM卡,分别为卡1、卡2、卡3和卡4,测量共享策略确认信息包括第一SIM卡的标识信息(第一SIM卡为卡1)以及卡1和卡2的标识信息,卡3和卡4不适用于测量共享策略,接入网设备可以只向终端设备的卡1发送第一测量配置信息;或者,接入网设备可以向终端设备的卡1和卡2发送第一测量配置信息;或者,接入网设备可以向终端设备的卡1、卡2、卡3和卡4发送第一测量配置信息。
应理解,该测量配置消息还包括终端设备的测量对象,小区列表,报告方式,测量标识,事件参数等信息。
S209,终端设备接收接入网设备发送的第一测量配置信息MeasConfig。
S210,终端设备根据所述第一测量配置信息进行测量,得到测量结果。
在一种实现方式中,无论接入网设备是只向终端设备的第一SIM卡发送第一测量配置信息还是接入网设备向终端设备支持的多个SIM卡发送第一测量配置信息,终端设备均采用第一SIM卡进行测量,得到测量结果,该终端设备可以将该测量结果存储于存储 器中,该终端设备的多个SIM卡均可以读取该测量结果,所述测量结果适用于终端设备包括的多个SIM卡。即除该第一SIM卡以外的SIM卡可以复用该第一SIM卡的测量结果,不需要每个SIM卡均进行测量,有效节省了测量功耗和提高了数据传输效率,优化了多卡终端设备的测量流程。
应理解,该测量共享策略确认信息只包括第一SIM卡的标识信息时,该测量结果适用于该终端设备支持的每个SIM卡;或者,该测量共享策略确认信息包括第一SIM卡的标识信息和终端设备上支持多个SIM卡的标识信息时,该测量结果适用于该测量共享策略确认信息包括的终端设备上支持多个SIM卡的标识信息,如,该终端设备支持3个SIM卡,分别为卡1、卡2和卡3,测量共享策略确认信息包括卡1和卡2的标识信息,其中卡2为第一SIM卡,该测量结果适用于卡1和卡2,不适用于卡3。
在一种实现方式中,接入网设备只向终端设备的第一SIM卡发送第一测量配置信息,第一SIM卡接收到第一测量配置信息之后,将该第一配置信息配置给终端设备支持的多个SIM卡,多个SIM卡执行同一套测量。
应理解,不同的通信场景,终端设备需要进行的测量不一样,如在进行小区切换时,终端设备需要测量目标小区的信号功率,如添加分量载波时,终端设备需要对分量载波的频谱功率进行测量。
S211,终端设备向接入网设备发送第一测量报告MeasurementReport,所述第一测量报告包括所述测量结果。
在一种实现方式中,该第一测量报告可以包括该执行测量共享策略的多个SIM卡的标识信息。
在终端设备向接入网设备发送第一测量报告后,终端设备可以根据通信场景的不同执行不同的操作。例如,在添加分量载波时,分量载波SCC测完后就可以使用SCC传输数据,其中,测量共享策略包括的多个SIM卡都可以使用SCC传输数据;如在进行小区切换时,终端设备向接入网设备发送第一测量报告后,终端设备需要根据接入网设备的命令来进行小区切换。
在一种实现方式中,终端设备将采用第一SIM卡进行测量得到的测量结果复制为多份,并通过多个SIM卡向所述接入网设备发送多份测量报告。

应理解,该测量共享策略请求不包括指示信息时表示终端设备默认执行测量共享策略。

上文对本申请提出了一种多卡终端设备的通信参数测量方法进行了详细描述。为了更清楚理解本申请,下面通过与现有技术测量过程的对比进一步描述本申请。
终端设备在进行小区重选、小区切换、添加辅小区组和添加分量载波等通信场景下,终端设备需要对异频或异系统小区进行测量。常见的测量方式包括需要GAP的测量或不需要noGAP的测量。
对于RRC空闲态或非激活态的异频/异系统测量,由于终端设备大部分时间处于空闲状态,不需要在服务小区上收发数据,这些空闲时间可用于异频/异系统测量,因此不要配置测量间隙GAP。
对于RRC连接态的异频/异系统测量,根据终端设备的能力,可以采用需要GAP的测量或不需要GAP的测量。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/异系统邻区上接收信号,则终端设备支持不需要GAP的测量方式;否则,需要采用需要GAP的测量方式,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/异系统频点上,接收异频/异系统邻区信号。GAP测量会影响终端设备与当前服务小区的通信。
测量GAP由接入网设备配置,在GAP内接入网设备不在服务小区上调度终端下行接收和上行发送,因此在GAP内不会导致上下行误码。测量GAP的配置如图5所示,图5为测量GAP的配置参数,测量GAP主要由3个参数构成:MGRP(Measurement Gap Repetition Period,测量时隙重复周期)配置测量GAP周期;MGL(Measurement Gap Length,测量时隙长度)配置测量GAP的长度;gapOffset配置测量gap的起始位置。根据这3个参数,可确定测量GAP起始在满足以下条件的SFN(System Frame Number,系统帧号)和subframe(子帧)上:
SFN mod T=FLOOR(gapOffset/10);
subframe=gapOffset mod 10;
T=MGRP/10;
以上SFN和subframe为PCell(Primary Cell,主小区)的SFN和subframe。MGL最大为6ms。
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gap的方式测量(RRC_CONNECTED态的异频/异系统测量),基站需要配置准确的gap位置,以包含邻区的SSB,NR小区的SSB按周期发送,周期可为5ms、10ms、20ms、40ms、80ms或160ms。在一个周期内可发送多个SSB,但所有的SSB都集中在1个5ms中发送,形成一个SSB burst。例如:SSB周期为20ms时,一个周期内有4个5ms,而所有的SSB都集中在其中1个5ms中发送,其他3个5ms中没有SSB发送。因此接入网设备配置测量GAP时,需要使GAP包含SSB发送时刻,否则终端设备在GAP内将收不到NR邻区的SSB,从而测不到该小区。测量GAP的时域位置参考的是主小区的定时,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,网络设备需要知道主小区和NR邻区之间的定时偏差,从而确定NR邻区的SSB的SFN和子帧号对应主小区的SFN和子帧号。这可通过终端设备测量系统帧号和帧定时偏差(SFN and frame timing difference,SFTD)获得两个小区定时偏差并上报接入网设备,接入网设备根据两个小区的定时偏差向终端设备配置测量GAP,使得测量GAP包括邻区的SSB信号。
SFTD测量时,终端需要接收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;非DC下LTE PCell和NR邻区之间的SFTD测量,如果终端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,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。
终端设备支持的多个SIM卡的测量方式均有接入网设备配置,一般可以分为三种情况:对多个客户识别模块SIM卡均进行间隙GAP测量,对该多个客户识别模块SIM卡均进行非间隙noGAP测量和对该多个SIM卡中的第一部分SIM卡进行GAP测量,对第二部分SIM卡进行noGAP测量。下面分别对这三种情况分别进行描述。
当对该终端设备支持的多个客户识别模块SIM卡均进行间隙GAP测量时,该终端设备根据该测量配置信息,对该第一SIM卡进行GAP测量,其余SIM卡可以进行正常通信。如图6所示,图6示出了两个SIM卡复用测量结果的测量过程。图6中的图(a)为现有技术,两个SIM卡均进行GAP测量,在GAP测量内,两个SIM卡均不能进行正常的数据通信。图6中的图(b)是采用了测量共享策略,SIM1卡进行GAP测量,SIM2卡没有进行GAP测量,而是进行数据传输,SIM2卡复用SIM1卡的测量结果即可,由此不仅减小了测量开销,也避免影响数据通信,优化了系统测量流程。应理解,图6所示的SIM1和SIM2在时域上的时间一致,图6中为了便于观察,因此将SIM1和SIM2在时域上间隔了一段,但实际上重合的。
当对对多个客户识别模块SIM卡均进行间隙noGAP测量时,该终端设备根据该测量配置消息,对该第一SIM卡进行noGAP测量,其余SIM卡不需要进行noGAP测量。如图7所示,图7示出了两个SIM卡复用测量结果的测量过程。图7中的图(a)为现有技术,两个SIM卡均进行noGAP测量,在noGAP测量内,两个SIM卡均能进行正常的数据通信。图7中的图(b)是采用了测量共享策略,SIM1卡进行noGAP测量,SIM2卡没有进行noGAP测量,SIM2卡复用SIM1卡的测量结果即可,由减小了测量开销,优化了系统测量流程。应理解,图6所示的SIM1和SIM2在时域上的时间一致,图6中为了便于观察,因此将SIM1和SIM2在时域上间隔了一段,但实际上重合的。对多个客户识别模块SIM卡均进行间隙noGAP测量,有可能是该多个客户识别模块SIM卡处于RRC空闲态或非激活态,也有可能是该多个客户识别模块SIM卡所在的终端设备具备多套射频通路,能够支持在服务小区上收发信号时同时在异频/异系统邻区上接收信号,本申请对此并不进行限定。仅对该终端设备上的一张SIM卡进行noGAP测量,其余SIM卡不需要进行noGAP测量,这种情况下可以降低该终端设备自身的压力,不需要终端设备具备很多套射频通路。例如,该终端设备具备4套射频通路,该终端设备上目前装了三张SIM卡, 如果对这三张SIM卡均进行noGAP测量,则额外需要3套射频通路,显然该终端设备不能提供3套射频通路,该终端设备只能再通过GAP的方式进行测量,影响数据通信。而本申请中,只需要对其中一张SIM卡进行测量,终端设备提供一套射频通路即可,其余SIM卡可以复用其中一张SIM卡的测量结果,由此不仅降低了终端设备的压力,也避免影响数据通信和减小了测量开销,优化了系统测量流程。
当对该多个SIM卡中的第一部分SIM卡进行GAP测量,对第二部分SIM卡进行noGAP测量时,根据测量控制参数从该第二部分SIM卡中确定第一SIM卡,该终端设备根据该测量配置消息,对该第一SIM卡进行noGAP测量。从进行noGAP测量的第二部分SIM卡中确定第一SIM卡,使用noGAP测量可以不影响数据传输,减小对通信业务的影响。图8中的图(a)为现有技术,两个SIM卡,SIM2进行GAP测量,SIM1进行noGAP测量,SIM2在GAP测量内,不能进行正常的数据通信。图8中的图(b)是采用了测量共享策略,SIM1卡进行noGAP测量,SIM2卡没有进行测量,而是进行数据传输,SIM2卡复用SIM1卡的测量结果即可。图8所示的SIM1和SIM2在时域上的时间一致,图8中为了便于观察,因此将SIM1和SIM2在时域上间隔了一段,但实际上重合的。
